Ginger Essential Oil

Warming, stimulating aphrodisiac



Ginger essential oil is, above all, warming. In fact, its warming, energizing nature is said to help ease loneliness and depression - and make it an aphrodisiac.


Ginger is good for relieving the achiness of colds and flu. It's also well known for relieving stomach upset, including nausea caused by motion sickness and morning sickness.


Its smell straight out of the bottle is nothing special, but ginger aromatherapy oil makes an excellent addition to any spicy blend (in moderation - it can irritate skin) to warm up and energize.
