Ginger essential oil

Description

Ginger oil is extracted from the ginger rhizome after a distillation process. Like other essential oils, it’s very concentrated. It has a distinct aroma that can be described as strong, warm, or spicy. As such, it’s often used for aromatherapy. Ginger oil can also be used in a variety of applications in the skin and hair.

Benefits  of ginger essential oil:

1. Reduces inflammation – initial studies have found that ginger can help soothe and ease the body.
2. Fades scars – because of its antioxidant properties that can reduce the appearance of hypopigmented scars.
3. Aids anxiety – thanks to its warming and calming properties.
4. Ease the senses – inhaling ginger essential oil can help reduce the build-up of mucus in the lungs and throat.
5. Reduce the feelings of nausea – the pleasant aroma’s said to help stomach upsets, as well as motion, morning, altitude, and migraine-related sickness. It also helps to aid digestion when inhaled, which can potentially contribute to nausea.

How to use ginger essential oil:

Inhale it
By putting 1 to 2 drops of it into a facial steamer or a hot bowl of water. If using the second method, cover your head with a towel to capture all of the ginger oil vapors.
Spray it
To freshen up your room. To make a room spray, simply add 10 to 15 drops per ounce of water to a spray bottle and spritz away!
Apply it
Dilute it with a carrier oil (such as almond, jojoba, coconut, or avocado oil) and then apply a few drops to the bottom of your feet or rub it into your pulse points.
Inhale it
Either breathe it indirectly from the bottle or sprinkle some droplets on a towel or cloth and pop it underneath your pillow.
Diffuse it
Put some in a diffuser and breathe in the warm and spicy scent. (Try this: combine 3 drops of ginger oil with 2 drops of bergamot and 2 drops of patchouli essential oils). Massage it
