Ginger essential oil, certified organic
Description: Ginger essential oil is steam distilled from the fresh rhizomes of Zingiber officinale, a perennial herb that grows up to 1m tall and is known for its thick, spreading underground stems. Distilling from fresh ginger (rather than dried) gives this oil a brighter, more vibrant aroma with slightly sharper top notes.
History: Believed to have originated in India, China, and Java, ginger has also been cultivated in Africa and the West Indies. It made its way to Europe between the 10th and 15th centuries, where it was prized both as a culinary spice and medicinal herb. References to ginger can be found in ancient Sanskrit and Chinese texts, as well as writings by the Greeks, Romans, and Arabs.
