Wintergreen Essential Oil

Most modern consumers are familiar with the aroma and flavor of wintergreen due to its popularity in candy and chewing gum. Wintergreen essential oil, however, has much more to offer therapeutically, as a soothing agent for aches and pains, for example. Wintergreen essential oil is produced in such small quantities, that those who want the therapeutic benefits need to make sure they are getting a pure form of wintergreen, like doTERRA wintergreen essential oil, and not the widely created synthetic compound methyl salicylate.
