Decoctions of the leaves and the essential oil are used in traditional medicine "... externally as a counterirritant to treat painful muscles and joints, including rheumatism. Infusions, decoctions or small amounts of the oil are rarely taken internally, as tonic, to treat rheumatism and to relieve minor stomach upsets. Canadian Natives traditionally made a refreshing tea from the leaves...

"GC-MS analysis showed that methyl salicylate (96.90%) was the main component of the oil. Essential oil inhibited the growth of all microorganisms tested, i.e. food and oral bacteria and fungi, respectively (MIC 0.18-3.00 mg/ml and MBC 1.25-4.00 mg/ml; MIC 0.73-5.00 mg/ml and MFC 2.92-26.67 mg/ml); The oil effectively inhibited the biofilm formation of oral Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans as well (MIC 25.00 MBC 50.00 mg/ml; MIC 12.50, MFC 50.00 mg/ | "GC-MS analysis showed that methyl salicylate (96.90%) was the main component of the oil.

Methyl salicylate is also the main component of the leaf oil of Gaultheria fragrantissima (94.6-97.0%) and Gaultheria yunnanensis (99%). A minor component is eg. ethyl salicylate, especially in G.fragrantissima (5.3%). \\ | Methyl salicylate is also the main component of the leaf oil of Gaultheria fragrantissima (94.6-97.0%) and Gaultheria yunnanensis (99%).

+ | Main component of the hydrodistilled (with cohobation, continuous re-injection of the hydrosol into the still) essential oil of freshly mazerated stems and leaves of G.procumbens (collected in the Canadian boreal forest) was methyl salicylate (98.7%). A minor component was ethyl salicylate (0.5%). \\ | ||
+ | "When we collected the essential oil and during a subsequent olfactory evaluation, we did not notice an odor very different from those of commercial batches we use to analyse but surprisingly, | ||
+ | The essential oil contained tuberolactone (0.15%) and massoia lactone (0.08%). The hydrosol contained mainly methyl salicylate (~270mg/l), but also e.g. (E)-cinnamyl alcohol 2.8mg/l, tuberolactone (2.0mg/l) and massoia lactone (0.3mg/l). \\ | ||
