Ginger Root Oil - 1 oz.

INCI Name: Zingiber officinale (Ginger) Root Oil

Indigenous to China and Java, it spread to Africa and the West Indies. It has been used for medicinal purposes since ancient times to treat all kinds of conditions including colds, coughs, flu, rheumatism, aching muscles and joints and even malaria. It is believed that ginger was brought to Europe between the 10th and 15th centuries as both a condiment and spice.

The root of the plant is macerated and distilled over high heat, from which the oil is extracted. Ginger Root Essential Oil has a different aroma to the pungency of fresh ginger root – the oil is softer and sweeter, with a very pleasant, spicy fragrance.
