About the Plant:
If you like to cook you have seen the ginger root before or have you enjoyed the 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 and cultivated all over the tropics in Nigeria, the West Indies, India, China, Jamaica and Japan. Amrita Aromatherapy is proud to carry Certified Organic Ginger CO2 Essential Oil from Germany.
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 as early as 500 BC. It is said Confucius ate Ginger at every meal. Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners used ginger as a digestive aid, for stomachaches, diarrhea, colds and bleeding. Ginger traveled along the maritime Spice Route as early as 3000 BC. It 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.
