Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) also known as Checkerberry, Teaberry, Boxberry, and in Spanish Hierba de Wintergreen / Gaulteria is an aromatic cooling herb traditionally used for pain relief, inflammation reduction, and respiratory wellness. Rich in methyl salicylate, tannins, flavonoids, and soothing compounds, wintergreen helps ease discomfort while supporting clear breathing and circulation.
Commonly used to ease muscle pain, joint aches, arthritis, headaches, nerve discomfort, chest congestion, and cold-related tightness, wintergreen also supports digestive comfort and is used externally for sprains, bruises, and inflammatory skin conditions. Its crisp, minty aroma brings cooling relief and grounding clarity.
Enjoyed as a tea (very mild), poultice, infused oil, salve, or topical liniment, wintergreen herb provides cooling pain relief and respiratory support. (Note: Wintergreen is strong use mindfully.)
