Herb a Day Campaign: Wintergreen | Gaultheria procumbens

Herb a day Campaign : Wintergreen I put wintergreen into my Tea of the Day so I figured we could talk a little bit about it. It tastes great and it smells great, first off. But if you’ve learned anything by reading these posts, it’s that these herbs are amazing!! So, wintergreen contains methyl salicylate. That compound is closely related to aspirin. It has pain relieving properties when used internally and externally as well. Internally people like it for gouty-rheumatic issues. Externally, it’s rubbed on achy, swollen joints and muscles to relieve pain. It’s great for digestion like gassy guts and indigestion. Helps to calm irritated bladders and for general urinary complaints. If someone has a headache it works great to soothe it alone or alongside feverfew and peppermint. #herbadaycampaign #wintergreen #herbalist #digestion #slanginherbs #cystitis #dallasherbalist #inflammation #herbs #herbalhealing #wellness #masterherbalist #selfcare #headache #swelling #nature #alkaline #rheumatism #analgesic #digestion #letmeteachyou #teaberry #inflammation #aromatic #gout #herbsman! #iknowtheywork #imnotbothered #humble #noego
