Wintergreen has been recognized for centuries for its medicinal value. Native Americans used the leaves to treat respiratory issues and brewed a tea from the berries for use as a pain reliever. The oil is steam distilled from the leaves to garner the minty, sweet, camphorous essence. Both relaxing and uplifting to the mind, wintergreen is common in aromatherapy. It is also used in massage for its relaxing properties and for its ability to ease aches and pains.
