Gaultheria procumbens, cut, from conventional cultivation
Wintergreen, also known as “wintergreen”, is a medicinal plant that is particularly valued for its essential oil. This contains methyl salicylate, a strongly aromatic substance that is traditionally used in ointments and liniments
Indication
Analgesic, anti-inflammatory, for rheumatism, headaches and muscle pain
How to use
Add 1-2 teaspoons to approx. 250 ml of hot water, leave to infuse for 10 minutes and strain.
Note: Due to the methyl salicylate it contains, which has a similar effect to aspirin, wintergreen should only be consumed in moderation, especially by people with salicylate intolerance. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should only use it after consulting a doctor.
