Ginger Essential Oil

Our organically crafted Ginger Essential Oil is steam distilled from the spicy, intensely aromatic rhizomes of the Zingiber officinale plant livening the tropical coastal locales of India with its rich green, brilliantly red, flowering fields. Our exquisite Ginger Essential Oil is from the freshly harvested, rather than the dried Ginger rhizomes, giving it a lively, fresher and sweeter aroma.

Like Cinnamon and Cardamom, Ginger is another well-known spice used extensively in food and beverage preparation, traditional and herbal medicine, as well as in aromatherapy and perfumery. It is employed by holistic healthcare practitioners, herbalists and aromatherapists for a diversity of wellness support. Ginger Essential Oil is also a superb choice for personal care, cosmetic and skin care applications, where the distilled (essential) oils of Ginger are recommended, rather than the more pungent and very concentrated Ginger CO2 extracts.
