Wintergreen organic 10 ml

As a room fragrance , wintergreen essential oil can have a very calming and sedative effect, providing a positive effect on overstimulated nerves and inner restlessness. It can also contribute to a general improvement in mood.

In cosmetics, wintergreen essential oil is often used as a soap perfume and as a mild camphor-like flavoring agent for toothpaste, mouthwash, and other oral care products.

Wintergreen belongs to the genus Gaultheria and is part of the heather family. Native to eastern North America, American wintergreen can grow up to 15 cm tall. This evergreen dwarf shrub has white to pink flowers that open in July and August and produces red wintergreen berries. The essential wintergreen oil, however, is extracted from the leaves.

Essential oils are a good and healthy alternative to chemical-based air fresheners and artificial fragrances. Essential oils are a healthy way to create a pleasant scent in your home, office, or wherever you are.

Essential oils also have a pleasant effect and, depending on their notes and scent, can help you relax or concentrate; they can have a calming or comforting effect, or they can be refreshing, invigorating, or energizing. The diverse scents and diverse uses can enhance your well-being and be a wonderful addition to your everyday life. Just give them a try and see for yourself!

Aromas can affect your body in several ways. The most obvious way is through the nose: The olfactory nerves transmit the signal to the brain and can thus influence moods.

Another mode of action is through the skin. The molecules of essential oils can pass through cell membranes and the skin, thus reaching the tissue and bloodstream. They are therefore also capable of influencing the body through this route.

A third mode of action is via the stomach: When we eat spices such as peppermint or thyme, which contain essential oils, they reach the stomach and exert their effect via this route.

Essential oils should only be used diluted, as high concentrations can cause headaches and allergic reactions

Since essential oils have diverse effects (strong substances with strong effects), they should be used carefully

Aromatherapy is a holistic form of therapy for body and soul. It is difficult to evaluate the therapy scientifically. The sensory and emotional impressions triggered by the oils cannot be objectively measured.
