Gaultheria/Wintergreen Oil

About This Product

Ooty Originals Gaultheria Oil, also known as Wintergreen Oil, is extracted from the leaves of the Gaultheria plant grown in select parts of the Nilgiris — one of the very few regions in India where this rare medicinal herb thrives.

Key Benefits

• Provides fast relief from muscular pain and body aches
• Reduces inflammation of joints — effective for arthritis and gout
• Relieves headaches when applied to temples
• Acts as a natural analgesic (pain-numbing) agent
• Improves blood circulation in affected areas
• Helps with knee pain, back pain, and sports injuries

How to Use / How to Apply

• Mix Gaultheria oil with warm coconut oil in a 1:1 ratio.
• Apply the blend gently on the painful area — joints, muscles, back, or head.
• Massage in circular motions for 5–10 minutes for deeper penetration.
• Use 2–3 times a day for best results on chronic pain areas.
• For headache: apply 2 drops (diluted) to temples and back of the neck.

How It Works

Gaultheria oil is naturally rich in methyl salicylate (over 90%), a compound closely related to aspirin. When absorbed through the skin, methyl salicylate inhibits prostaglandins — the chemicals responsible for pain and inflammation. This makes Gaultheria one of the most potent natural alternatives for pain relief, particularly for joint and muscle conditions.
