Ginger(Essential Oil)

Ginger is a member of the same plant family as turmeric and cardamom. It can be found throughout the world, especially in Asia and Africa. The scientific name of the plant is Zingiber officinale.

Ginger oil is extracted from the ginger rhizome after a distillation process. Like other essential oils, it’s very concentrated.

Ginger oil has a distinct aroma that can be described as strong, warm, or spicy. As such, it’s often used for aromatherapy.  People also sometimes use ginger oil in different products for the hair and skin.
