Ginger Essential Oil - 10 ml

Ginger Essential Oil, derived from the Zingiberaceae officinale plant, known as Common or Jamaica Ginger, reflects the rich heritage of its origins. The name "ginger" finds its roots in Gingi, a place in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, and the Tamil term "inji-ver" for ginger. Extracted through steam distillation from the unpeeled or dried, ground-up root of the plant, this oil boasts warming properties that contribute significantly to digestion and combat nausea and vomiting.

Renowned for its multifaceted therapeutic properties, Ginger Essential Oil finds application in the treatment of fractures, providing relief for the pain associated with rheumatism, arthritis, and carbuncles. Its versatile nature extends to addressing hangovers, motion sickness, colds, flu, coughs, sinusitis, sore throat, skin sores, diarrhoea, colic, cramps, chills, and fever. When diffused, the oil combats loneliness and depression, serving as an energizing aphrodisiac. Inhaling a drop on a handkerchief effectively manages nausea, motion sickness, and cold symptoms.

Ginger traces its origins to India, China, and Java, with additional native growth in Africa and the West Indies. Sanskrit and Chinese texts highlight ginger's medicinal use, a tradition echoed in ancient Greek, Roman, and Arabian literature. Dried ginger addresses stomach aches, diarrhoea, throat issues, and nausea. Chinese medicine employs it to invigorate the heart, diminish mucus, and alleviate phlegm.
