Ginger root has been at the heart of folk medicine for thousands of years to treat all sorts of ailments including inflammation, fevers, colds, nausea, stomach upsets, arthritis and rheumatism, respiratory discomforts and even menstrual complaints.  But it’s the topical benefits of this perennial herb that really interests us.

Ginger is often referred to as a root, but in fact it is an underground stem called rhizome, used a spice for 4,000 years, its medicinal properties were discovered around 2,000 years ago.

Ginger Oil comprises the following naturally occurring chemicals that make up its medicinal benefits:

• α-Pinene: used for its anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and expectorant properties

 Used topically or cosmetically, Ginger Essential Oil helps to soothe redness and eliminates bacteria – Eczema, Psoriasis and Dermatitis sufferers have a large amount of the bacteria Staphlococcus Aureus which flourish in the dry itchy rashes caused by these conditions. The open sores caused by scratching allow viruses, bacteria and fungi to enter the skin resulting in infection.  The properties of Ginger Oil help target the cause of the infection and provide soothing relief.

Acne is another condition caused by bacterial infection that Ginger Oil targets.  The antioxidants create a protective layer on the skin, soothing redness and eliminating bacteria.
