Ginger Essential Oil *Pro

Amber glass bottle with dropper containing 30 ml

Discover ginger essential oil (Zingiber officinale), a precious essence extracted through steam distillation of fresh or dried rhizomes of this tropical plant native to Asia. Renowned for its spicy, warm, and slightly lemony aroma, this 100% pure and natural oil offers a multitude of health and wellness benefits. With a yield of 1 to 3% (i.e., 1 to 3 kg of oil per 100 kg of rhizomes), it concentrates powerful active compounds such as zingiberene, sesquiterpenes, gingerols, and shogaols, responsible for its exceptional therapeutic properties.

Rich and Traditional History

Ginger has been used for over 6,000 years in Asia, particularly in China and India, both in cooking and traditional medicine. Imported in antiquity to Egypt for mummification, then adopted by the Greeks and Romans for its digestive properties, it gained popularity in Europe during the Middle Ages, where it was prized for its tonic and aphrodisiac qualities. Today, ginger essential oil continues this millennia-old legacy, offering a natural and versatile solution.

Flash Point and Physical Characteristics

100% pure ginger essential oil has a flash point of approximately 65°C, indicating its minimum flammability temperature in the presence of a flame. Pale yellow to light brown in color, it has a fluid consistency and a characteristic spicy, warming aroma. These properties make it an oil to be handled with care, stored away from heat and ignition sources.

Phototoxicity: A Safety Advantage

Unlike some citrus essential oils, ginger essential oil is not phototoxic. It does not cause skin reactions under sun exposure, making it ideal for use in massages or topical applications (always diluted), even during the day.

Usage Precautions

Although powerful and beneficial, this oil requires precautions. It must be diluted in a carrier oil (20% essential oil to 80% carrier oil) before skin application, as it can be irritating or dermocaustic in its pure form. Perform a patch test on a small area of skin to rule out any risk of allergy. Wash hands after use to avoid contact with eyes or mucous membranes. For diffusion, limit exposure to 20 minutes per hour for adults and 5 minutes for children over 6 years old. Store it in an amber glass bottle, away from light and moisture.

Contraindications

Ginger essential oil is not recommended for pregnant women during the first three months of pregnancy, breastfeeding women without medical advice, or children under 3 years old. It should be avoided in cases of bile duct obstruction (gallstones), when taking anticoagulants or antiplatelet medications (due to potential interactions), or in individuals with hypertension or epilepsy without medical guidance. Consult a healthcare professional if in doubt.
