Natural Benefits of Wintergreen Essential Oil

Experience the natural benefits of Wintergreen essential oil, made through the steam-distillation of the wintergreen leaves. Wintergreen essential oil has fresh, crisp, minty aroma that is strong. It has a cooling effect when used on the skin. Although wintergreen has a minty aroma, it is actually not a part of the mint family! The natural benefits of wintergreen essential oil can be utilized in many different ways. It can be used with a diffuser or vaporizer in order to enjoy the aromatherapy benefits or blended with a carrier oil to make a refreshing massage oil.

While wintergreen essential oil should be used sparingly, the natural benefits of wintergreen essential oils can still help with alleviating sore and strained muscles, as well as inflammation. Although wintergreen essential oil directly on the skin is not recommended, it can be applied topically only when it has been diluted with a carrier oil, such as jojoba oil or fractionated coconut oil.
