Ginger Oil is also known as “The Oil of Empowerment” for the feeling of confidence that it is known to inspire. The rhizome of the ginger plant yields ginger oil, an essential oil with several health benefits, including digestive and anti-inflammatory properties. It tastes warm and slightly peppery, with a strong, spicy smell. Its unique flavour and scent may be familiar to you from its usage in cooking or traditional medicine.

Named after the Greek word “zingiberis,” which means “horn-shaped,” ginger essential oil, also known as ginger root oil, is extracted from the root of the Zingiber officinale herb, commonly known as the ginger plant. Originally from southern China, this flowering perennial is a member of the same family as cardamom and turmeric.

Nevertheless, it has spread to other parts of Asia, India, the Moluccas, or Spice Islands, West Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean. Ginger oil has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine to treat emotional problems like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and lack of enthusiasm. The numerous health advantages of ginger oil have kept it a mainstay in both conventional and alternative medicine.
