Wintergreen essential oil dōTERRA | 15 ml

1 total reviews

Wintergreen essential oil is the after-exercise massage oil of the dōTERRA range. It comes from the leaves of a creeping shrub that grows wild in the foothills of the Himalayas, in Nepal, and naturally contains methyl salicylate, which only birch also has: hence its sweet, refreshing scent.

Diluted in fractionated coconut oil, it provides a soothing warming sensation during a massage, on the neck and shoulders after a long working day, or on the muscles at the end of a workout. One to two drops in a warm bath prolong the relaxation. Diffused, its gentle, energising aroma freshens the air, and a few drops on a cotton pad slipped into a gym bag do the same.

An after-exercise oil, to be used sparingly, that pairs with all the others.

Interesting fact

In Nepal, wintergreen leaves are picked by hand, mostly by women, who carry them in a large basket held by a strap across the forehead: a full basket can weigh 62 kg. The leaves then steep for a whole night before a distillation of at least fourteen hours.
