Essential Oil Basics - Ginger

4

I know this is going to sound crazy, but I can't live with out Ginger essential oil. I've had stomach and digestive issues since I was a kid. I eat clean, work out, do all the things I'm supposed to do, and I still deal with nausea and bloating and stomach pains. At the frist signs of a little tummy gurgle, out comes the Ginger Oil.

if you’re looking to build a more holistic and natural life, ginger is a must. 

About Ginger Essential Oil from the doTerra Blog:

Taken from the rhizome (the subterranean stalk of a plant that shoots out the root system), Ginger has many traditional uses. A featured ingredient in many Asian dishes, Ginger has a hot, fragrant flavor when used as a kitchen spice. In Western tradition, Ginger is most often used in sweets– gingerbread and ginger snaps being two examples. Studies have been conducted on Ginger for its positive effect on joint health; however, Ginger is best known as an effective digestive aid and for helping to ease indigestion and nausea. As a powerful tonic for the entire digestive system, Ginger can lessen motion sickness, soothe an upset stomach, and help digest food after a large meal. Ginger essential oil can also be applied topically or inhaled to help with digestion issues.

Tips from dōTERRA:
  • Put 1-2 drops in water to help with an upset stomach.
  • If you are feeling nauseous, put a drop of Ginger is the palm of your hands and inhale.
  • Ate too much? Rub 1-2 drops on your stomach or bottom of feet to help relieve discomfort.
