Ginger pure essential oil can be used as:

The Chinese and Indians have used ginger tonics to treat ailments for over 4,700 years, and it was a priceless commodity during the Roman Empire trade around the coming of Christ because of its medicinal properties. In the 13th and 14th centuries, the value of a pound of ginger was equivalent to the cost of a sheep! By medieval times, it was being imported in preserved form to be used in sweets; in fact, Queen Elizabeth I of England is credited with the invention of the gingerbread man, which has become a well-known Christmas treat.

Ginger essential oil has a sweet, spicy, woody and warm scent. It is a warming essential oil that works as an antiseptic, laxative, tonic and stimulant. Of the 115 different chemical components found in ginger root, the therapeutic benefits come from gingerols, the oily resin from the root that acts as a highly potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. Ginger essential oil is also made up of about 90 percent sesquiterpenes, which are defensive agents that have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

When used in a massage oil, ginger is said to assist with inflammation. There are certain inflammatory markers in the body such as TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-10. These are said to cause inflammation, redness, and pain. Some initial studies on ginger have shown that it may alter these anti-inflammatory biomarkers — tiny compounds on a molecular level — and help lower them.

 

Technique of extraction method:

Ginger essential oil is distilled through a process that utilizes steam to vaporize the rhizome or root of the plant. The oil-soluble components are then separated from the water-soluble ones, making essential oil.
