Wintergreen essential oil is derived from the leaves of the Wintergreen plant. Its cooling effect on the skin makes it useful for relaxing or post workout massages. Wintergreen essential oil can be used to treat painful conditions including headache, nerve pain (particularly sciatica), arthritis, ovarian pain, and menstrual cramps. The active ingredient in wintergreen oil, methyl salicylate, is closely related to aspirin and has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.
