Ginger has been treasured for its rich taste, its hot, sweet, spicy scent and its medicinal properties for thousands of years. It was also an important part of the spice trade from Asia to the west. The essential oil is steam distilled from the rhizome root, which is also used as a cooking spice and for tea.

Ginger has warming and toning properties which make it excellent for massage to relieve the pain of sore muscles and rheumatism, especially when brought on by cold, damp weather. It can be used in a footbath for tired, sore, cold feet. Ginger’s warming properties can also help people who often catch colds by clearing the lungs of white mucus and relieving headaches caused by sinus congestion. If used at the start of winter, ginger’s stimulating properties are thought to strengthen the immune system and increase resistance to colds and flu. Ginger is also useful in strengthening digestion, relieving flatulence and improving assimilation of food.
