Ginger Root Essential Oil

Ginger root essential oil is steam-distilled from the macerated rhizome of Zingiber officinale, sourced from China. The oil captures the warm, spicy, woody character of fresh ginger root with a hint of lemon and pepper. Its dominant constituent, zingiberene, is a sesquiterpene with documented anti-inflammatory and digestive-supportive properties.
