Ginger Essential Oil

Benefits & How To Use
Ginger Zingiber officinalis (1613)
Ginger has a warm, spicy and familiar aroma. A powerful antiseptic and stimulant, it provides a beneficial support to the respiratory and circulatory systems. Try a few drops on a hankie if you’re on choppy seas! It is also one of the key remedies in ayurveda for stimulating digestive fire (agni), and Ginger essential oil lends itself well to abdominal massage where it may be used in a blend. It is warming and stimulating, encouraging movement, but also soothing to tired muscles. It brings warmth wherever it is applied, so it is a great oil to use in the winter months. It blends well with ylang ylang, other spice oils such as clove, coriander, vetiver, and most citrus oils.
