Ginger Essential Oil

Warming, stimulating 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 essential oil makes an excellent addition to any spicy blend (in moderation - it can irritate skin) to warm up and energize.

Botanical Name and Characteristics

Ginger is a perennial herb that grows 3 to 4 feet high (approximately 1 meter) with white or yellow flowers. It spreads by tuberous rhizome.

Cautions

Buy Ginger Essential Oil

I always recommend Mountain Rose first because I like and trust them. Their quality is excellent, their prices are good, and many of their essential oils are organic (and all of them are therapeutic grade.)

Or you could shop for ginger oil at Amazon. They have a number of different brands available at a variety of prices. (Just remember, you get what you pay for.) Happy hunting!

In terms of recommending suppliers, there's lots of really good suppliers out there, but I keep balking at the price. I can't in good conscience send you to a supplier whose quality is similar to Mountain Rose but who charges considerably (or even a little) more. I wouldn't do it myself, and I won't recommend it to you.

Which brings me to another point. A small commmission is sent to Easy-Aromatherapy-Recipes.com each time you buy from these suppliers by clicking on one of my links to their website.

This makes it possible for me to continue to publish free aromatherapy recipes and other fun stuff for you. Click here to learn more about how advertising works.
