Wintergreen Leaf Powder
Wintergreen is a creeping rhizomic grass, indigenous to eastern North America. This evergreen plant, belonging to the Ericaceae family, grows well in the cold areas of Canada and East Asia. It is used in candies, teas, jellies, jams, and other food items to add flavour. The analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of wintergreen reduce pain, alleviate skin irritation, and remove toxins from the body.
