Description

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a flowering plant widely used as a spice, and it has been used traditionally for thousands of years. Ginger is part of the plant family that includes turmeric and cardamom, and all are regarded for their health and wellness benefits. Ginger has a spicy, woody scent, and ginger essential oil is known for being particularly warming. Ginger essential oil is believed to be the most potent form of ginger because it is said to have the highest levels of gingerol. In fact, of the approximately 115 different chemical components found in ginger root, the benefits are believed to come from gingerols, the oily resin from the root that has antioxidant properties.
