India

Ginger Root Essential Oil has been used for centuries by the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans for its healing properties, especially around digestive complaints and in cooking.

The Egyptians used it to prevent epidemics. There are records of Dioscorides, a Greek physician from around 70 A.D. whose work is still used today, used Ginger Root for digestive complaints. The Romans used it for cataracts. The Vedic texts, from which the Ayurvedic practices originate, cites numerous healing properties, again for digestive issues.

It was one of the first spices introduced from the Middle East to the Western cultures. It was used in the Middle Ages during the plague times to induce sweating. St. Hildegarde in the 12th century also used Ginger Root for digestive issues and as an aphrodisiac for older men.

In Chinese medicine, Ginger Root Essential Oil is considered stimulating. It eases mental confusion and warms the heart, enhances sexuality, love, courage. It has an affinity for the 2nd and 3rd chakras.
