Wintergreen Oil CAS#68917-75-9
Wintergreen essential oil is water steam-distilled from leaves charged into the still and allowed to macerate for several hours to hydrolyze the gaultherin glucoside (methyl salicylate + glucose). Distillation lasts from 5 to 6 hours and yields approximately 0.7% essential oil. The oil is often adulterated by intentionally co-distilling sweet birth (Betula lenta) bark. FCC (1996) has described wintergreen oil as obtained from the leaves of G. procumbens and bark of B. lenta. The oil has a strong, sweet, aromatic odor reminiscent of methyl salicylate, its main constituent.

Product Application of Wintergreen Oil CAS#68917-75-9
In medicinal use, wintergreen oil is primarily used as a topical erythematous agent, commonly for reducing swelling and relieving pain. However, due to side effects such as affecting the activity of iron ions in the blood, it is now rarely used in oral medications. Wintergreen oil has a local irritant effect, promoting local blood circulation. Topical application or application can produce vasodilation and redness of the skin, reflexively affecting the skin, muscles, nerves, and joints in the corresponding area, thus reducing swelling, inflammation, and pain, and also relieving itching. It can be used for sprains, contusions, back pain, muscle pain, neuralgia, and relieving itching.
