Essential Oils List
Wintergreen
(Gaultheria procumbens) has a
sweet, minty scent. The oil is distilled from
the small evergreen herb's leaves. The
refreshing, clean taste of wintergreen has made
it a favorite in flavoring numerous products.
Wintergreen contains the same active ingredient
(methyl salicylate) as birch and is beneficial
in massage for soothing head tension and muscles
after exercising. Wintergreen has an approximate
ORAC of 1,018,439 (TE/L).
Young Living's Wintergreen
contains natural methyl salicylate.
Wintergreen's stimulating fragrance may be
attractive to children so always keep the child
resistant cap in place.

for massage.

Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils (YLTG)
Essential oils are
aromatic volatile liquids distilled from bushes, flowers, roots,
seeds, shrubs and trees.
Unlike synthetic
chemicals,
essential oils are diverse in their effects, no two oils
are alike.
One of the factors that determine the purity of an
essential oil is its chemical constituents.
Essential oils are highly concentrated and far more potent than dried herbs.
