Essential Therapeutics Essential Oil Organic Wintergreen 10ml




Details


REAL Wintergreen oil, now certified organic, NOT synthetic methyl salicylate as commonly offered!
As with aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), Wintergreen oil is rich in methyl salicylate and is well known and extensively used for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties for muscular aches & pains, joint inflammations and the like.
Properly used, Wintergreen is NOT a ‘dangerous’ oil. For comparison, 24 drops (0.75mL) is equivalent to two standard 300mg aspirin tablets.
