Essential Oil – Ginger

• A warm, spicy, and woody aroma with a distinct sharp, citrusy top note.
• It is deeply pungent and earthy, smelling much like a fresh-cut root but with a more intense, "dry" heat.
• It has a peppery kick that is immediately energizing to the senses, followed by a sweet, balsamic undertone that lingers as it dries down.

• Nausea & Motion Sickness: Highly effective at settling a queasy stomach. It is a favorite for travel sickness, morning sickness, and recovery from anesthesia.
• Easing Indigestion: Stimulates the secretion of digestive juices, helping to process food more efficiently and reduce "heavy" stomach feelings.
• Gas & Bloating: Acts as a carminative to help move trapped gas and soothe intestinal cramps.
• Hiccup Relief: Traditionally used in a diluted abdominal massage to calm the spasms that cause hiccups.

Musculoskeletal & Joint Support

• Intense Warming for Pain: When diluted in a carrier oil from clubarome.com, it creates a heating sensation that brings blood flow to stiff joints and sore muscles.
• Arthritis & Rheumatism: Renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce pain and improve mobility in chronic joint conditions.
• Muscle Strains: Helps soothe the deep ache of overexerted muscles and "cold" muscle tension.
• Backache Support: Often used in massage blends targeting lower back discomfort.

Respiratory & Immune Support

• Clearing Catarrh: Acts as an expectorant, helping to break up and expel mucus from the lungs and sinuses during a cold.
• Warming a "Cold": Used at the first sign of a chill or shivers to help warm the body and stimulate the immune response.
• Soothing Sore Throats: When massaged (highly diluted) onto the throat and neck area, it helps reduce inflammation and fights infection.

Emotional & Mental Vitality

• The "Oil of Empowerment": Helps dispel feelings of victimization and powerlessness, fostering confidence and the motivation to take action.
• Combatting Mental Fatigue: The sharp, spicy scent provides a mental "reset," clearing "brain fog" and sharpening focus.
• Aphrodisiac Qualities: Known to increase libido and sexual energy by improving circulation and providing a sense of grounded warmth.
• Reducing Nausea from Stress: Helps calm the "butterflies" or stomach-churning anxiety before a big event.

• Phototoxicity & Sensitivity.
• While steam-distilled ginger is generally not phototoxic, it is a "hot" oil.
• Always dilute it significantly (1% or less) before applying to the skin to avoid irritation or a "burning" sensation.
• It should be used with caution during pregnancy
