Ginger
Botanical Name
Zingiber officinale
Description
The Ginger Essential Oil is steam distilled from the root of the plant and has been used as a healing remedy in the East for thousands of years. Study the history of Ginger and you will learn the history of the trade routes. It is a perennial herb that grows from underground rhizomes, which are often called the roots. The whitish thick lobes of the rhizome contain the familiar spicy-floral-citrus aroma. Many enjoy the fragrance since it is a mixture of distinctions. Zingiber officinale, which is the Latin name for Ginger, comes from the Sanskrit word meaning “horn-shaped” referring to the root-like rhizomes. Ginger was a highly desired herb and the essential oil was very expensive. It is regarded as spiritual and heavenly in the Koran. The chemistry of Ginger is so complex that entire textbooks have been written on the subject. Once known and used only by the most wealthy, Ginger is today affordable due to its commercial cultivation in most every tropical and subtropical country in the world.
