Nothing beats the cool, crisp, almost fruity aroma of Wintergreen. Although technically not a true mint, it still has a strong, stimulating minty scent that can help create an uplifting atmosphere. But this gem of an oil shines when it's used topically. When carefully diluted, Wintergreen can help ease aching joints and muscles due to regular wear and tear, old age, or a really good workout. Because this oil is very powerful, only a small amount is needed to enjoy the therapeutic benefits.
Wintergreen can be used topically, but should be used with caution because of the possible drug interactions it has. Use it at a 2% maximum dilution with your favourite Plant Therapy Carrier Oil. If you are unsure how to properly use Wintergreen, please consult with our Aromatherapists at (aromatherapist@planttherapy.com). They can help deciding if Wintergreen is right for your situation.
