Wintergreen is extensively used in pain relieving formulas, its chemical makeup is essentially that of liquid asprin, being made up almost exclusively of methyl salicylate. The salicylates pass through the skin, entering the tissues to inhibit the formation of prostaglandins, thereby reducing inflammation and pain. The plant has been used for respiratory conditions and is often included in formulas to open the breathing passages, but is mainly employed for joint and muscular pain relief from conditions such as arthritis, lumbago, sciatica, neuralgia, gout, fibromyalgia, etc.

Please read contraindications carefully and consult your physician if in doubt. Pregnancy: There are a number of essential oils which are contraindicated during pregnancy, although the list will change with each book or website used.
