Ginger Essential Oil

Summertime Essential Oil Series

July focus on:

Yoga and Meditation

Ginger

Latin Name – Zingiber Officinale

Ginger essential oil has a warm and spicy aroma.

Its roots are steam distilled.

This is a middle note essential oil.  An important note about it is that it is strong and tends to take over a blend.  So keep that in mind and only add a couple of drops at a time so as not to overpower a blend.

 

 

 

Ginger is a digestive tonic, sexual tonic, expectorant, and pain reducer.

It can be an irritant to the skin. So when blending for topical use you should balance it with a good oil to nourish your skin like roman chamomile.  Do not use if pregnant or nursing unless under a doctors care.
