Nature's Aspirin: Gaultheria Oil
Suffering from arthritis or stiff joints? Discover the powerful Nilgiri oil that works just like a painkiller—but naturally.
Gaultheria, also known as Wintergreen Oil, is famous for its strong, minty aroma. It contains 99% Methyl Salicylate, a chemical closely related to Aspirin. This makes it one of the strongest natural painkillers on the planet.
Hindi: विंटरग्रीन तेल (Wintergreen Tel) | Tamil: கௌல்டீரியா எண்ணெய் (Gaultheria Ennai)
- You are allergic to Aspirin.
