Benefits of Ginger Essential Oil

Ginger is a flowering plant in the family Zingiberaceae; its root is widely used as a spice, but it has also been used in folk medicine for thousands of years. The health benefits of ginger essential oil are nearly identical to the medicinal health benefits of fresh ginger; in fact, the most potent form of ginger is the oil because it contains the highest levels of gingerol.

The greatest benefits of ginger come from its anti-inflammatory property as a result of a number of compounds, including Zingiberene. In this episode of Ancient Medicine Today, I’ll go over the benefits of ginger essential oil and how to use it on a daily basis. Watch to learn more.

Thank you. This video has been of great help to me. Am Asian so ginger is a huge part of our regular diet anyway...but now I will also add on the essential oil.

I have spinal stenosis and when my pain is really bad I put 2 cups of epsom salts with ginger, black pepper and clary sage essential oils in my bath, it works like magic! I found this blend from my massage therapist and like I said I only use it when my pain is really bad that way I get the best benefits from the oils. The only one I use regularly is clary sage

I appreciate your channel and you putting this information out there to us. Can't wait to try more natural remedies! So far made some ginger tea.

[LGCblessed]

Hi. I've been purchasing some of Dr Axe's products (as much as I can afford) and I've been taking one cup of ginger root tea per day (I make it really strong) so I wonder would I get the same benefits from this essential oil showed on this video? It would be easier than making tea every day... but how about the benefits? Thank you for the wonderful information this channel provides!

[ewoolwine]

This is so helpful! I have Young Living ginger oil and didn’t realize all of the good uses. I’ll use it to help with digestion in tea.

[adventurertubongbukidnon]

How we order this ginger essential Oil?

[stephaniejade]

Dr Axe: When you say cooking ginger turns zingiberene into another compound. What is that different compound and is it good or bad? Also, you talk about turmeric C02 as well -- how different is that from ginger C02 please? Thx!! :)

[moomoopuppy]

Is ginger oil or iginger extract the thing I need to make ginger beer more "spicier". Current;y I've bought powdered ginger from the grocery store to sprinkle into ginger beer so it makes the ginger ale/beer have more of a bite. It turns out that it barely made it stronger.
