One of the main components of this essential oil, methyl salicylate, plays an integral part of almost every antiarthritic and analgesic balm for muscle and joint pain currently on the market.

When Organic Wintergreen Essential Oil is blended with a carrier oil and applied to a sore joint or muscle, it brings an increase to the circulation of blood, warmth, and a very mild numbing effect. As pain is eased, the muscles and body are able to relax. It is often used by those with rheumatism and arthritis.*

Wintergreen essential oil can also be used to help relieve spasms in the respiratory, muscular, and nervous systems. If you’re struggling with spasmodic coughs, muscle cramps, or other spasm-related issues, this essential oil may be the help you need.*
