Ginger Essential Oil

 

Ginger Essential Oil

Ginger (zingiber officinalis) has warming, stimulating, astringent and antiseptic properties.

The essential oil is extracted from the dried root of the tropical herbaceous perennial.

The oil has a lemony-pepper, woody-spice smell and has warming, stimulating, astringent and antiseptic properties.

In aromatherapy it is good to boost the circulation, relieve a tight, chesty cough, tummy ache, tight muscles, stiffness or exhaustion.  The astringent and antiseptic properties make it effective to warm and freshen tired feet.
