Ginger (Zingiber officinale) Essential Oil — 10 ml

Introduction
Ginger essential oil is a warm, spicy, and invigorating essence distilled from the roots of the ginger plant. Revered for centuries across Asia, it is both a culinary treasure and a therapeutic remedy. Unlike Plai oil, which has a cooling character, Ginger oil provides a warming, stimulating energy that supports circulation, digestion, and emotional uplift. At Herbsmetics, we include Ginger oil in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket, where participants discover its fiery charm as a perfume note and its deep roots in Thai wellness culture.

Aroma Profile

• Top Notes: Fresh, spicy, with a hint of citrus brightness.
• Heart Notes: Warm, earthy, and slightly woody.
• Base Nuance: Rich, resinous warmth with long-lasting depth.

This bold, fiery scent makes Ginger essential oil a perfect component for perfumes that need spice, energy, and grounding warmth.

Origins & Cultural Heritage
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) has been cultivated in Asia for thousands of years and is central to both Thai and global traditions:

• In Thai herbal medicine, ginger is used to warm the body, stimulate circulation, and aid digestion.
• A staple in Thai cuisine, from teas to stir-fries, adding both flavor and wellness.
• In Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, ginger is celebrated for balance, vitality, and longevity.
• Symbol of strength and resilience, often associated with energy and health.

Production & Extraction
Ginger essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the dried or fresh rhizomes (roots).

• Method: Steam gently extracts active compounds like zingiberene, gingerol, and sesquiterpenes.
• Quality: Pure, undiluted oil with no synthetic additives.
• Variation: Distillation from fresh root provides a brighter aroma, while dried root offers deeper warmth.

Benefits & Unique Advantages

• Digestive Support: Traditionally used to reduce nausea, bloating, and indigestion.
• Anti-Inflammatory: Helps soothe sore muscles and joints when diluted.
• Emotional Uplift: Stimulating and energizing, ideal for combating fatigue.
• Perfumery Role: Adds spicy, warm complexity to oriental, woody, and citrus blends.
