Wintergreen
Botanical Name: Gaultheria spp.
Country of Origin: India, USA
Wintergreen is a sturdy plant species with good resistance to drought. Its leaves remain green during the winter season, which inspired its name. Native to North America, indigenous people are known to have valued wintergreen as a natural remedy for helping with a range of discomforts, including headaches and various muscle aches. While it produces a bright, red fruit, most uses involve dried leaves or essential oil. Due to its ongoing popularity, we offer wintergreen as loose cut leaves, a fine powder and a premium quality oil.
