The Brilliance of Ginger Essential Oil

Ginger: what does hearing the word “ginger” bring to mind? Maybe it’s the herbal kick that it can give your favorite dishes, or perhaps the health benefits of a strong ginger tea.  Ginger root is an incredibly versatile and beneficial entity in the world of food, health and plant medicine. Even more amazing: ginger produces an essential oil!

Ginger essential oil is produced by steam distillation of the ground up, unpeeled rhizome after it has been harvested. The smell of a good fresh ginger essential oil will be sweet, a little spicy and slightly citrusy!  

Inhalation of ginger essential oil is known to be helpful with a number of issues including an upset stomach and a lack of energy. Ginger may also be helpful for stimulating both your immune and circulatory systems.  

Ginger is so lovely on its own but is also fantastic in its ability to blend with other oils.  Breatherapy uses ginger essential oil in the aromatherapy tabs recommended below. Consider adding a spicy, sweet essential oil to your wellness and give ginger a chance to improve your day!
