dōTERRA[doh-teh-ruh]
Origin: a Latin derivative
meaning "Gift of the Earth."
Wintergreen essential oil is derived from the leaves of a creeping shrub that’s typically found in coniferous areas. Methyl salicylate, the main chemical component in Wintergreen oil, is included in many topical creams and massage blends because of its soothing properties. In fact, wintergreen and birch are the only plants in the world that contain methyl salicylate naturally.
Wintergreen oil—in small amounts—is often used in candies, toothpaste, and chewing gum as a flavoring. When diffused, Wintergreen essential oil has a refreshing aroma that’s uplifting and stimulating.
Through Co-Impact Sourcing® efforts, doTERRA sources Wintergreen essential oil from rural Nepal, where the plant is wild-harvested by local villagers and distilled by community-owned distillation facilities. This process creates increased economic opportunity for these remote regions.
