| Safety Rating | Use with Caution |
| Evidence Level | limited |
Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) is a low‑shrub whose leaves and sometimes stems contain the natural salicylate compound methyl salicylate. It is used to support the immune system during colds, reduce inflammation, boost stamina, and historically for chronic diarrhea, edema, abnormal uterine bleeding, diabetes, and as a mild cardiotonic. Because it contains salicylate, it can cause allergic reactions, interact with aspirin‑like drugs, and may be toxic if taken in excess; it should be used with caution in children, people with liver or kidney problems, and those taking salicylate‑related medications.
