About the Plant:

If you like to cook, you have probably seen ginger root  or have enjoyed its spicy, warming flavor in entrees, candies, drinks, or desserts. Ginger is a perennial herb with spear-shaped leaves and white or yellow flowers. The plant can grow up to 3 feet high. The actual ginger root is a thick, spreading, tan root that grows underground.

Where it Grows:

Ginger is native to southern Asia. It is cultivated all over the tropics: Nigeria, the West Indies, India, China, Jamaica, and Japan. Amrita® Aromatherapy is proud to carry Organic Ginger Essential Oil from India.

Traditional Uses and Lore:

Ginger has been a well-loved culinary delight for thousands of years. It was mentioned in the ancient Vedic texts from India, and used by Chinese medicine practitioners in China as early as 500 BC. It is said Confucius ate ginger at every meal. Ginger traveled along the spice route and was one of the first spices to make it to Europe, where the Romans and Greeks used it for digestive problems and many other conditions. Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners use ginger as a digestive aid, as well as for stomachaches, diarrhea, colds, and bleeding.

Ginger might not seem impressive on the outside, but this knobby root can get you moving in the right direction by pushing aside the confusion and giving you inner strength. Spicy and warm, with a fresh top note, it reminds you of Latin dance: sultry and fiery. Yet it balances this fire with a sweet, rich undertone.
