Good for all things MUSCLE related, use before or after your workouts! It is also amazing in a massage to soothe head tension.
Aromatically, Wintergreen stimulates and increases awareness on all levels of the sensory system so this is a good one to diffuse. It is also a Raindrop oil – if you’ve ever had a Raindrop massage… OOOH boy. #thebest
TO USE:
Dilute 1 part oil to 4 parts carrier oil
or
Diffuse/inhale directly
DID YOU KNOW?
Wintergreen (synthetically made) is widely used as a flavoring agent in root beer, gum and toothpaste?
The early American settlers had their children chew the leaves of wintergreen each spring to support healthy gums.
Wintergreen leaves contain methyl salicylate, which is the primary ingredient in many modern commercial pain-relief ointments. Native Americans used wintergreen leaves in poultices and teas to relieve pain.
