Wintergreen essential oil is extracted from leaves by steam distillation. It is also called "Himalayan Willow", being a creeping shrub native to North America and China; it is part of the category of medicinal plants. Native Americans used this plant to reduce fever and relieve pain. Wintergreen essential oil is composed of up to 99% of methyl salicylate, having the same properties as aspirin. That is why it must be used with great care and in small quantities, being a toxic oil used in large quantities. Wintergreen essential oil is called "The Aspirin of Aromatherapy".

Mădălina,
Îl recomand in tratarea răcelilor! Cu ajutorul acestuia am reușit să îi scap de răceală pe soțul și copilul meu in doar doua zile. Mirosul lui îmi amintește de alifia chinezeasca (accea la cutiuțe mici, rotunde)
