Ginger Root Essential Oil

Warming. Anti-Nausea. Anti-Inflammatory. Digestive Tonic.

Ginger root essential oil (Zingiber officinale) is steam-distilled from the macerated rhizome of fresh ginger, concentrating the volatile sesquiterpene compounds responsible for its warming, anti-nausea, and anti-inflammatory properties. Unlike dried ginger powder, the essential oil is rich in zingiberene (up to 35%) and beta-sesquiphellandrene — the primary aromatic sesquiterpenes with documented digestive and anti-inflammatory activity.
