Mind/Emotional:
Ginger essential oil is energizing and warming. It can increase physical energy and stamina, especially when one is feeling sick; it relieves feeling of anxiety, exhaustion and depression.
The aroma of this oil strengthens our will power and drives us to take initiative to tackle and handle hard tasks in our life with strong determination.
As an ‘Oil of empowerment’, the emotional impact of Ginger is unwavering as it can boost our confidence and give us more courage, clarity, vitality and clearer vision.
It is also considered aphrodisiac.
Body/Physical:
Traditionally, Ginger has been widely used since ancient times to support digestive health. It has the ability to curb queasy feeling from heavy meals or motion sickness. Smelling the distinct aroma can relieve nausea, flatulence, colic, stomachache and occasional indigestion. It can be used to treat sickness following surgery, during chemotherapy and even during pregnancy.
Zingibain, an active constituent of Ginger oil, is a potent anti-inflammatory. This makes it particulary effective for pain relief such as those suffering from rheumatism, and it works as a long term solution to heal or repair inflamed areas and to soothe sore muscles and other discomfort due to inflammation.
Being an astringent, it works effectively to repair epidermis, hyperpigmentation, stubborn scars and blemishes.
Research shows that Ginger is an expectorant and a great remedy for all sorts of respiratory ailments such as colds, flu, asthma, cough, bronchitis, shortness of breath and so forth. Like Peppermint and Rosemary oils, inhaling this oil can aid to clear up excess mucus from the throat and lungs to improve breathing.
It has strong antiseptic and purifying effects and known to inhibit infections from microorganisms and bacteria. Therefore, it is helpful in healing stubborn acne and clear up breakouts.
