Wintergreen Essential Oil (विंटरग्रीन तेल) – Potent Aromatic Profile [Read All Safety Warnings]
Wintergreen Essential Oil (विंटरग्रीन तेल), obtained through steam distillation from the leaves of the Gaultheria plant (such as Gaultheria fragrantissima, native to the Indian hills), possesses an intensely strong, sharp, sweet-minty aroma. This oil is primarily composed of Methyl Salicylate and must be handled with extreme caution and strict adherence to all safety guidelines.
Distinctive Aromatic Profile:
This essential oil offers a powerful, penetrating, sweet, and minty scent, often associated with a characteristic, sharp aromatic presence.
Limited Aromatic Applications Due to Potency:
- Aromatic Diffusion: Use very sparingly (maximum 1 drop) in a diffuser within a well-ventilated room to experience its sharp, penetrating aroma. Prolonged diffusion is not recommended.
- Topical Aromatic Sensation (Requires Extreme Care): When heavily diluted strictly according to the safety warnings below, it can provide a distinct warming or cooling/warming sensation on the skin. This effect is sometimes utilized in highly diluted massage blends for localized aromatic application, focusing purely on the unique sensory feeling it imparts.
Appearance: A clear to pale yellow or pinkish-red liquid essential oil.
