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.

After an intense workout or a long day on your feet, your body craves relief. Wintergreen essential oil is a powerful natural ally, known for its high content of methyl salicylate—a compound with soothing properties. When diluted and applied topically, it delivers a cooling sensation that can ease discomfort in tired muscles and joints. Whether you’re an athlete or just feeling a bit stiff, adding Wintergreen to your post-exercise routine can help you unwind, relax, and support recovery without reaching for synthetic solutions.
Dilute with a carrier oil and apply to areas of discomfort such as sore muscles, joints, or the back. Wintergreen provides a cooling effect and is ideal for post-workout massage or tension relief. Avoid sensitive areas and always do a patch test first.
Diffuse Wintergreen in small amounts to enjoy its refreshing, minty aroma. It can uplift the mood, clear the mind, and create a revitalizing environment. Use it in a diffuser blend with citrus or wood oils for a balanced, invigorating scent.
Not recommended for internal use.
Possible skin sensitivity. Keep out of reach of children. If you’re pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas.
Post-Workout Relief: Dilute Wintergreen with a carrier oil like Fractionated Coconut Oil and massage into sore muscles after exercise to help soothe discomfort and tension.
Tension-Soothing Blend: Combine a drop of Wintergreen with Lavender and Peppermint in a roller bottle for a calming blend that supports neck and shoulder tension.
Invigorating Diffusion: Add 1–2 drops of Wintergreen to your diffuser with Wild Orange or Eucalyptus for a fresh, uplifting atmosphere.
Joint Support: Apply topically to knees, wrists, or other joints (always diluted) to support mobility and ease occasional stiffness.
Use with Caution: Because Wintergreen is very potent, always dilute before applying to the skin and avoid use during pregnancy, on children, or for people with sensitivity to salicylates (like aspirin).
