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.
