Scientific Summary

The herb is the evergreen shrub Gaultheria fragrantissima, commonly called fragrant wintergreen, whose leaves contain a natural oil rich in methyl salicylate. It is traditionally used to soothe minor aches and inflammation, calm digestive upset, and as a topical or oral remedy for colds and congestion. Because it contains salicylate, it should be used sparingly; avoid prolonged internal use, limit doses to those recommended in reputable sources, and consult a health professional if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking aspirin or anticoagulants.
