Natural Topical Aspirin Alternative
Therapeutic Wintergreen Oil Offers Powerful Pain Relief
Penetrating Aspirin Alternative For Topical Use
Proven aspirin like effects of topical therapeutic grade Wintergreen oil!
Applying 10 mL of a 2.5% dilution of therapeutic Wintergreen EO to the skin provides the equivalent of one 325mg aspirin tablet ! “In fact, however, if 10 ml of a 2.5% formula of Wintergreen oil were to be applied all at once to the skin and totally absorbed, the dose would represent the same amount of salicylate present in one 325 mg aspirin tablet”: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3995208/.
Wintergreen essential oil is over 95% methyl salicylate (a compound similar in action to acetylsalicylic acid, or aspirin). Many people including myself find Wintergreen oil even more effective when combined with other anti-inflammatory, analgesic oils such as therapeutic grade Peppermint, Sandalwood, Idaho Balsam Fir, Copaiba, Frankincense, Eucalyptus, and Helichrysum.
Clinical research found a blend of therapeutic grade Wintergreen, Sandalwood and Eucalyptus containing essential oils relieved chronic pain associated with Temporomandibular disorders. “All cases resulted in complete remission of pain within one month of topical massage”: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2687118/
