Wintergreen
An evergreen
shrub growing to 1m. It is in leaf all year, in flower from
April to May.
Wintergreen
and Sweet Birch oil are both nearly identical in chemical
composition and aroma; similarly, both have been used in traditional
folk remedies. This tradition has led to the discovery of
Methyl Salicylate, its main ingredient, as a pain reliever.
Wintergreen is a traditional native North American remedy,
used for aches and pains and to help breathing while hunting
or carrying heavy loads.
Wintergreen
berries are used medicinally. Native Americans brewed a tea
from the leaves to alleviate theumatic symptoms, headache,
fever, sore throat and various aches and pains. During the
American Revolution, wintergreen leaves were used as a substitute
for tea, which was scarce.
Oil
of wintergreen The Gaultheria species share the common
characteristic of producing oil of wintergreen. Wintergreen
oil is a pale yellow or pinkish fluid liquid that is strongly
aromatic with a sweet woody odor (components: methyl salicylate
(approx. 98%), a-pinene, myrcene, delta-3-carene, limonene,
3,7-guaiadiene, delta-cadinene) that gives such plants a distinctive
"medicinal" smell whenever bruised. Wintergreen essential
oil is obtained by steam distillation of the leaves of the
plant following maceration in warm water. Methyl salicylate,
the main chemical constituent of the oil, is not present in
the plant until formed by enzymatic action from a glycoside
within the leaves as they are macerated in warm water.The
oil is used topically (diluted) or aromatheraputically for
muscle and joint discomfort, arthritis, cellulite, obesity,
edema, poor circulation, headache, heart disease, hypertension,
rheumatism, tendentious, cramps, inflammation, eczema, hair
care, psoriasis, gout, ulcers, broken or bruised bones. It
is also used in some perfumery applications and as a flavoring
agent for toothpaste, chewing gum and soft drinks, confectionery,
in Listerine, and in mint flavorings, but Gaultheria plants
are not true mints. Some species of birch also produce oil
of wintergreen, but these deciduous trees are not called wintergreens.
