Ginger essential oil is steam-distilled from the unpeeled dried ground roots of the Zingiber officinale plant which is native to southern Asia, China, India and Java. Ginger has been used extensively for centuries for both culinary and medicinal purposes and many cultures actually regard it as a sacred spice that has a positive influence on both the mind and body.

In modern aromatherapy Ginger essential oil is renowned as a warm and fortifying aromatherapy oil that is ideal for soothing the mind and counteracting fatigue. Aromatherapists also commonly use Ginger oil in the winter time, or in therapeutic massage oils for the joints and muscles.
