Ginger essential oil is
extracted from the plant
Zingiberaceae officinale of
the Zingiberaceae family and
is also known as Common or
Jamaica Ginger.
The plant is said to originate
from India, China and Java,
yet is also native to Africa
and the West Indies. Ginger is
a perennial herb and grows to
about 3 - 4 feet high with a
thick spreading tuberous
rhizome. Every year it shoots
up a stalk with narrow spear-
shaped leaves, as well as
white or yellow flowers
growing directly from the
root.
It has been used as a
medicine since very early
times and is recorded in
both Sanskrit and Chinese
texts and is also mentioned in
the literature of the ancient
Greeks, Romans, and
Arabians.
Asian medicine uses dried
ginger for stomach problems
such as stomach-ache,
diarrhea, and nausea. The
Chinese also use it to boost
the heart and to help with
mucus and phlegm.
The name ginger is said
to be derived from the Gingi
district in India, where tea
made from ginger is used for
stomach upsets.
Ginger oil is often used
for digestive problems, as
well as nausea - be that
morning sickness or travel
sickness. It is also of value
when treating colds and flu
and especially for catarrhal
lung conditions and
rheumatic pain. It can also be
used on the skin to help clear
bruises.
The oil extracted from the
Ginegr plant oil can vary in
color from pale yellow to a
darker amber color and the
viscosity also ranges from
medium to watery. It is a
strong smelling oil - spicy,
sharp, warm and with a hint
of lemon and pepper, which
smells of actual ginger.
