Ginger essential oil is steam-distilled from the rhizome (root) of Zingiber officinale. Unlike fresh ginger, the oil has a warm, dry spiciness without the sharp bite. It is valued in aromatherapy for its digestive and circulatory benefits, and is a popular addition to warming massage blends for sore muscles and cold weather.
