Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 Can someone explain what wintergreen oil is? I was making a shopping list for next month and wanted to get all the necessary ingredients for Deep tissue Repair Oil and BF & C tincture. The only wintergreen oil I'm familiar with is the essential oil, and I know that's not what is being called for. Any help would be appreciated. -- Jennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 Wintergreen was used in products for achy muscles, if memory serves me right.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 Yes, but is this an infusion of the wintergreen leaves, or is there a process where they can extract oil directly from wintergreen or. . .? I haven't seen any kind of wintergreen *oil listed by any of my suppliers except the essential oil. (and I know you aren't supposed to use 32 oz of *that* ) IF wintergreen infused oil is what is being called for, I know how to make it, if not I'm lost.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2001 Report Share Posted August 25, 2001 I don't know exactly how they do it but it's like all of the other " natural " over the counter remedies from not so very long ago; they're not distilled and concentrated like EO's, but they are natural plant extracts (albeit w/a little color added, perhaps), and used to be at the corner drug store along with tincture of violet, mecuricome (sp), iodine, milk of magnesia, magnesium citrate, oil of wintergreen, etc., etc. In Health, Steve ----------------------------- Yes, but is this an infusion of the wintergreen leaves, or is there a process where they can extract oil directly from wintergreen or. . .?

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2001 Report Share Posted August 25, 2001 Thanks Steve. I've never seen wintergreen packaged this way. I'll look the next time I'm out shopping. I just *knew you wouldn't use 32 oz of wintergreen eo with 16 oz of olive oil!!

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2001 Report Share Posted August 26, 2001 I use the wintergreen EO in mine. What is everyone else using? That is what the recipe calls for...
