Excellent choice — Wintergreen essential oil (Gaultheria procumbens) is often called “nature’s aspirin” because of its extremely high content of methyl salicylate (the same compound found in many pain-relieving products). It’s powerful for pain relief, muscle aches, joint inflammation, and circulation — but also requires very careful handling due to its potency.

How to Use:

  • Dilution:
    • 1 drop Wintergreen to at least 1 tablespoon (15 ml) carrier oil (such as fractionated coconut oil, jojoba, almond oil).
