{"product_id":"ginger-50ml607","title":"Ginger Essential Oil 50ml – Zingiber Officinale | Steam Distilled India","description":"\u003cp\u003eDiscover the warm, spicy vitality of pure Ginger Essential Oil, steam distilled from the root of Zingiber Officinale sourced from India. Bold, warming and wonderfully exotic — with a rich, fiery spiciness, a warm, earthy woodiness and a clean, slightly citrusy brightness — Ginger is one of the most invigorating, characterful and historically significant essential oils in aromatherapy and natural perfumery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name Ginger is thought to derive from the ancient Tamil word \u003cem\u003einji-ver\u003c\/em\u003e — the root of the plant as known in the Tamil-speaking regions of southern India, where Ginger has been cultivated and revered for thousands of years. India, China and Java are the ancient heartlands of Ginger cultivation — and Ginger is one of the oldest and most widely traded spices in human history, mentioned in Sanskrit and Chinese texts dating back over three thousand years, documented in the writings of ancient Greek, Roman and Arabian scholars, and traded along the great spice routes of the Indian Ocean long before the age of European exploration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn ancient Rome, Ginger was so highly prized that it was taxed by weight alongside pepper — a single pound of Ginger was worth the equivalent of a sheep. Arab traders jealously guarded the secret of its origins for centuries, telling fantastical stories of Ginger growing in the land of the Troglodytes at the edge of the world, to prevent European merchants from discovering its true source. When the Portuguese finally reached India by sea in the late 15th century, Ginger was among the most coveted prizes of the spice trade — a commodity that had shaped the course of world history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteam distilled from the root of the plant — the aromatic, resinous rhizome that has been prized since antiquity — Ginger Essential Oil captures the full, fiery warmth and aromatic complexity of this extraordinary spice in concentrated form. With its bold, warming and deeply invigorating aromatic character, it is a wonderful and versatile addition to any aromatherapy collection — equally at home in the diffuser, the massage blend and natural perfumery compositions. This 50ml size is ideal for professional formulators, therapists and those who incorporate Ginger regularly into their practice or product making.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLatin Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zingiber Officinale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart of Plant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Root\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtraction Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steam Distillation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiffusion\/Oil Burner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add 2–3 drops to your diffuser or oil burner for a warm, spicy and deeply invigorating aromatic atmosphere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMassage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blend with a carrier oil such as Sweet Almond or Jojoba for a warming, deeply aromatic and invigorating massage experience — dilute well before use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBath:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add 3–4 drops to a warm bath — disperse well before entering — for a warming, spicy and deeply comforting aromatic experience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Perfumery:\u003c\/strong\u003e A distinctive warming spice note — blends beautifully with Black Pepper, Cardamom, Frankincense, Sandalwood, Orange, Bergamot and other spice, resinous or citrus essential oils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTopical:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always dilute thoroughly with a carrier oil before any topical application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCautions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePossible skin sensitivity — Ginger Essential Oil may cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals; always dilute well with a carrier oil before topical use.
