January's Oil of the Month is … Wintergreen

Fun Fact: Wintergreen has a strong, penetrating aroma that is most notably used as a flavoring agent for
root beer, chewing gum, and toothpaste. It's first recorded use was by American Indians. They used birth bark (wintergreen) to flavor their tea.

Wintergreen is a strong anti rheumatic, or in common language, it is very effective at preventing arthritis pain, bone pain, and cartilage injury. It is also an anti-inflammatory, so it does more than just relieve pain. It is also effective on things such as bone spurs, joint pain, and shoulder pain (specifically rotator cuff).

This oil is one of the most effective holistic remedies because of it's powerful soothing properties. For anyone who has suffered from arthritis pain, it can be a nagging pain, that's not easily relieved. Wintergreen is incredibly effective because it hits arthritis from both angles. Not only does it reduce the inflammation that has been caused by the arthritis, but it reduces the and reverses the arthritis itself.
