Anciently esteemed as a spice, and recognized for its affinity for the digestive system, it has been used in gingerbread (up to 4,000 years ago in Greece), in Egyptian cuisine to ward off epidemics, in Roman wine (for its aphrodisiac powers), in Indian tea (to soothe upset stomachs), and in Chinese tonics (to strengthen the heart and relieve head congestion).

It has also been used in Hawaii to scent the clothing, cook with, and cure indigestion. They also added it to their shampoos and massage oils.

From Our Reading and/or Experience...

• May be applied neat (undiluted) on hands and bottoms of feet. We use it this way as soon as any of us feels we are coming down with something.
• May be added to food as a dietary supplement or as a wonderful Ginger flavoring agent.
• It can be diffused to add the ginger scent throughout an area, and to reap some of it's many benefits.
• Not all essential oils are the same. This is not like other brands of ginger essential oil that you may find at health food stores. This is therapeutic-grade which is more effective and suitable for internal use.
