Ginger essential oil is extracted from the rhizome called Zingiber officinale by steam distillation. The plant belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, along with turmeric and cardamom. Although it is primarily associated with culinary use, it certainly goes beyond that – it is much more than a spice. In aromatherapy, ginger extract is often called the "oil of strength" because it gives courage and confidence.

Ginger oil - properties

Ginger essential oil is a concentrated product, so it is much more effective than any other form of the plant. It has anti-inflammatory activity, which is very useful in the treatment of joint diseases (such as arthritis or rheumatism). Studies show that it not only reduces swelling, but significantly stops the progression of pathological processes. The extract has antiseptic properties, disinfects small wounds, but can also be used to treat acne and other minor irregularities.

It has high antioxidant activity. It protects against free radicals and slows down the signs of aging. Recommended for the care of mature, tired and dull skin. With regular use, it can improve elasticity, moisturize and add softness. Also treats skin problems - soothes redness and calms. The tool pleasantly warms, improves blood circulation and tones during the massage.

It has a woody, spicy and earthy aroma with warm but savory notes. Although it evokes various associations, experts describe the smell as bright and intense. In aromatherapy, the product works in two ways - it balances and stimulates at the same time. It calms anxiety and calms the emotions, while on the other hand it reduces fatigue and stimulates, providing perfect harmony.
