10 ml essential ginger oil

Essential Ginger Oil is obtained from the plant Zingiberaceae officinale, also known as common ginger or Jamaica ginger. The name ginger is derived from the place Gingi in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and the Tamil word for ginger, inji-ver. The oil is extracted by steam distillation from the unpeeled or dried, ground root of the plant. It is a warming oil and particularly good for digestion as well as against nausea and vomiting.

Ginger oil has many therapeutic properties. It is used to treat bone fractures and relieves pain from rheumatism, arthritis, and carbuncles. It helps with hangovers, motion sickness, colds, flu, coughs, sinusitis, sore throats, skin ulcers, diarrhea, colic, cramps, chills, and fever. When used in a vaporizer, this oil combats loneliness and depression, and its energizing properties make it a good aphrodisiac. Place a drop of oil on a handkerchief and inhale it to relieve nausea, motion sickness, and colds.

Ginger originally comes from India, China, and Java, but is also native to Africa and the West Indies. Sanskrit and Chinese texts mention the use of ginger as medicine. It is also referenced in ancient Greek, Roman, and Arabic literature. Dried ginger is used for stomach pain, diarrhea, throat complaints, and nausea. The Chinese also use it to strengthen heart function and to loosen phlegm and congestion.
