Native to Nepal, Gaulthérie Odorante is a small evergreen shrub with white flowers that gives way in winter to purplish red berries. When you crumple up its leaves, there is a strong medicinal smell. Cousin of recumbent wintergreen, whose name comes from Canadian botanist JF Gaulther, fragrant wintergreen is known to fight muscle pain. The essential oil, obtained by distillation of the leaves, is highly concentrated in methyl salicylate (99%). Its smell is very characteristic of the balms used in the field of sports medicine.
