Wintergreen is native to Nepal. It is a small evergreen shrub with cream-white flowers that give way to purplish-red berries in winter. Itsleavesgive off astrong medicinal scent whencrushed. In fact, they are composed primarily ofmethyl salicylate, a derivative of aspirin.
Wintergreen essential oil has many beneficial properties, such as:
- Anti-inflammatory ( methyl salicylate): effective against muscle and joint pain associated with sports due to methyl salicylate, which inhibits the enzymes responsible for inflammation.
- Analgesic (methyl salicylate): a transdermal analgesic that relieves pain associated with sports activities. Methyl salicylate is classified as a Tier 1 analgesic by the WHO.
- Antispasmodic(methyl salicylate, esters): effective against muscle cramps and spasms by inducing a warming effect through the revulsion of the muscle or joint.
Its anti-inflammatory action makes it an effective ally for relieving pain associated with physical exertion or rheumatic conditions. By penetrating the tissues, it acts directly on the inflammatory processes that cause muscle and joint pain, thereby providing rapid and long-lasting relief.
Thanks to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, organic wintergreen essential oil can help relieve pain and inflammation in the ligaments. It works by reducing inflammation and alleviating pain, which promotes recovery and healing of ligament injuries.
In cases of injuries, bruises, strains, sprains, muscle tears, or contusions, organic wintergreen essential oil can help reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, it promotes the resolution of bruises and accelerates the healing of damaged tissue.
Its anti-inflammatory action can also be beneficial in treating tendinitis by reducing swelling and alleviating pain. By promoting tissue decongestion and improving blood circulation, it helps relieve tension and support the recovery of affected tendons.
