Nativilis Ginger Root Essential Oil (Zingiber Officinale ) - Anti-inflammatory relieve nausea - promote hair health and growth and skin care - Copaiba properties 30ml
Ginger has long been used in traditional medicine. The part of the plant that’s used for these purposes is called the rhizome. While it may look like a root, the rhizome is actually an underground stem off of which roots branch.
Ginger oil is extracted from the ginger rhizome after a distillation process. Like other essential oils, it’s very concentrated.
Ginger oil has a distinct aroma that can be described as strong, warm, or spicy. As such, it’s often used for aromatherapy. Ginger oil can also be used in a variety of applications in the skin and hair.
Ginger and ginger oil have also been used to help ease the following conditions:
- nausea
- arthritis
- digestive upset
- colds
- migraines
Some of the potential benefits of ginger essential oil are anecdotal. This means that they’re based off of personal reports or testimony as opposed to scientific studies.
However, there has been ongoing research into the possible health benefits of ginger oil. Continue reading to learn more about what the research says.
Anti-inflammatory
Studies have begun to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of ginger oil. Although many of these studies have been in animals, the results could have implications for a variety of conditions.
Inhaling the aroma from ginger oil has been used as a way to relieve nausea. Study results looking into this use have been mixed.
Hair applications
Ginger oil or extract is sometimes included in shampoos or other hair products, as it’s believed to promote hair health and growth. But, little research has been performed on whether this is actually the case.
Skin applications
More research is needed to explore and verify the benefit of topical use of ginger oil and its affect on things like inflammation and skin’s appearance.
The researchers found that rats treated with the essential oil blend had lower arthritis severity and lower levels of inflammation.
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ginger oil is “generally recognized as safe” and few adverse effects have been reported.
As with any essential oil, ginger oil is very concentrated and shouldn’t be applied to the skin undiluted. If you’re concerned about a potential skin reaction, you should first test a small amount of diluted ginger oil on your skin.
It’s important to remember that essential oils should never be consumed or ingested.

Aromatherapy
There are several ways that you can inhale ginger oil for aromatherapy. You can choose which one is right for you:
Diffuser
Diffusers are a great way to add a pleasing scent to a room. In some cases, the essential oil may need to be diluted in water. Always be sure to carefully follow the instructions that come with your diffuser.
Steam inhalation
To use ginger oil for steam inhalation, follow the steps below:
- Heat water until it’s steaming and place it in a bowl.
- Add a few drops of ginger oil to the steaming water starting with one to two drops.
- Drape a towel over your head.
- Keeping your eyes closed, place your head over the steaming bowl and inhale deeply.
Sprays
Ginger oil in a spray can be used to freshen the air in a room. To make a spray of ginger oil, you can do the following:
- Add ginger oil to water using 10 to 15 drops per ounce of water.
- Add a dispersing agent such as solubol if you wish. This can help distribute the essential oil in the water.
- Shake and spray. Shake before every spray.
Topical applications
Ginger oil that’s being applied to the skin should always be diluted in carrier oil first. Some examples of carrier oils include almond oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil, and avocado oil.
Essential oil solution shouldn’t exceed 3 to 5 percent. For example, to make a 3 percent solution, recommend adding 20 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier oil.
