Learning with LaRee
Wintergreen is a very aggressive essence that stimulates a very powerful response. Wintergreen promotes change on a profound level as the mind/body complex responds. Wintergreen shakes up and wakes up the mind and every system of the body. Wintergreen produces an analgesic, numbing effect on the nerves present in whatever tissue it is applied to. Wintergreen clears obstructions to the flow of blood in the tissues and in the veins and arteries. This increases circulation and brings warmth to the area.

Aroma:

Cautions:
Wintergreen essential oil has a high methyl salicylate content. Nevertheless, it is safe to use. Birch and wintergreen often receive very bad press because of misunderstandings about the effects of this "suppose" toxic ingredient. Wintergreen should be used cautiously if pregnant and always diluted well.
