MANUFACTURE PROCESS

Steam Distillation or Solvent Extraction: Ginger rhizomes (roots) are used for oil extraction. Steam distillation is a common method, similar to lavender and cinnamon oil. Alternatively, some manufacturers use solvent extraction, where a solvent like hexane is used to extract oil from the ginger.

APPLICATION

Digestive aid: Ginger oil is often used to relieve digestive issues such as nausea, indigestion, and bloating. It can be ingested in small doses or diluted and massaged onto the abdomen.
Pain relief: Due to its warming properties, ginger oil can help relieve muscle and joint pain. It's often used in massage blends for this purpose.
Respiratory support: Ginger oil may help clear congestion and relieve respiratory symptoms associated with colds and flu when inhaled or used in steam inhalation.
