Wintergreen is an herb. Wintergreen oil is made by steam processing of warmed, water-soaked wintergreen leaves. The leaves and oil are used to make medicine.
Wintergreen is used for headaches and other types of pain fever, gas (flatulence), and other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
In manufacturing, wintergreen is used as a flavoring agent in food, candies, teas, root beer, and pharmaceutical products.
