Gaultheria procumbens is native to the wooded regions of North America. It is also known as Wintergreen. This used to be the term for plants that stay green throughout the year, even in winter, which are now more commonly known as evergreen. Gaultheria procumbens has glossy, elliptical and slightly jagged leaves. In summer, the plant is adorned with white flowers in the shape of tiny bells, which turn into glossy red berries.
In China, wintergreen leaves are harvested from May to July from wild plants. They are then macerated in warm water overnight to allow the release of the methyl salicylate molecules, which are the main component of wintergreen essential oil.
