I love Ginger in all forms, pickled,oil, raw, grated in foods, diffuser or massage oils. Just the aroma of Ginger brightens my day. Ginger helps fight colds, flu, aching muscles or joints and painful things like rheumatism. Ginger can also help fight viral infections and make viruses more difficult to survive in the body.
Be careful with Ginger because it can result in sensitivity in some people. I always recommend that no matter what the oil or herb that you do a patch test before using it extensively.
Use the diffuser with this recipe to help relieve indigestion or nausea:
- 2 drops of ginger essential oil
- 4 drops of peppermint essential oil
- 4 drops of orange essential oil
This is a great refreshing aroma.
If you have cold hands, legs, fingers or toes, ginger essential oil is a warming oil that may help by bringing blood flow to those areas of the body. To increase blood flow se:

A great combination for a hot bath to just “feel better”:

After the bath, give yourself a nice massage with the following combination:

or another combination to use for massage and to relieve muscle aches and pain:
