Wintergreen A Year Round Natural Treat & Medicine

I have been working in the garden and yard recently so I decided to give you some wild edible videos. Wild edibles are in season and I want to share a bit of information with you. Many wild edible plants are very useful as medicine and food.

Wintergreen is a very useful evergreen shrub. This tiny plant has been used for centuries as a flavoring for food and as a medicinal plant. Please read the full article here:

Many of you are familiar with wintergreen from chewing gum, mouth wash and toothpaste. But is has many other uses.

Wintergreen has been used as a pain killer for centuries. This is a well known natural aspirin like plant. The same active ingredient in aspirin is found naturally occurring in wintergreen leaves and berries.

I love chewing slowly on the leaves or berries for a mouth freshening taste. It is a nice treat all year round because the leaves can be found even in the dead of winter.

Wintergreen has long been used to relieve headaches, muscle and back pain, arthritis, nausea and much more.
