Organic Ginger Essential Oil
Organic Ginger Essential Oil has received a good amount of press attention in recent years. Articles have focused in on its potential use for inflammatory autoimmune conditions like Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Organic Ginger Essential Oil is thought to be analgesic and anti-inflammatory.
But, Organic Ginger Essential Oil has a lot more to offer than this.
Plus, Organic Ginger Essential Oil possesses all of the same potential health benefits of root ginger, but it contains more gingerol, one of the most therapeutic components found in ginger.
Organic Ginger Essential Oil Health Benefits
Organic Ginger Essential Oil health benefits are thought to include: Analgesic + antibacterial + anti-emetic, (alleviates nausea or vomiting) + anti-inflammatory + anti-microbial + antioxidant + anti-spasmodic + antiviral + carminative, (reduces digestive gas & bloating) + expectorant + mucolytic, (dissolves mucus) + tonic + warming

Organic Ginger Essential Oil Traditional Health Benefits
Organic Ginger Essential Oil has been traditionally used for digestive issues and for respiratory conditions, as well as general infections and maintaining oral health.
It is thought to be just as helpful for nose and throat infections as it is for digestive infections. Herbalism, which has been practised for millennia, uses ginger as a: circulatory stimulant + diaphoretic + carminative + rubifacient.
Organic Ginger Essential Oil traditional health benefits are thought to include:
- Indigestion + flatulence + bloating
- Colds & flu + chills
- Throat infections
- Headaches
- General aches & pains
- Vertigo (aka Meniere’s disease)
- Dizziness
- Nausea: travel sickness + morning sickness
- Anti-emetic – sea sickness – nausea
- Brain fog
- Improve blood circulation
- Soothe inflamed muscles and joints
- Improve detoxification (esp. cellulite)
- Pain reduction
There aren’t many anti-emetic aromatherapy oils, and some of them are obscure. Two of the better known anti-emetic alternatives to Organic Ginger Essential Oil are just as affordable: Elemi Essential Oil and Organic Peppermint Essential Oil.
Organic Ginger Essential Oil Energetic Benefits
The energy of Ginger Essential Oil, which is distilled from rhizomes, harvested from under the ground, unsurprisingly goes down, and inward, delivering the energies of mother earth to our bodies. This means that it is very grounding, protective, and can deal with ‘inner sanctum’ issues such as painful ovulation, menstrual cramping and spasms.
Ginger is helpful for Spleen deficiency as it helps to restore Yang energies.
Organic Ginger Essential Oil Versus Ginger Root
Consuming organic ginger root as part of a balanced diet is possibly one of the most healthy dietary habits we can engage in. This is because it is deeply antioxidant and universally beneficial for our body.
However, if you want to use organic ginger root therapeutically, then employing the use of Organic Ginger Essential Oil, rather than making organic ginger root teas and poultices etc, is the way forward. This is because the deeply healing constituent Gingerol is in a much more concentrated form in Organic Ginger Essential Oil than it is in root ginger.
Today, ginger essential oil is used to treat nausea, upset stomach, menstrual disorders, inflammation and respiratory conditions. When used as aromatherapy, it’s also known to bring on feelings of courageousness and self-assurance, which is why it’s known as “the oil of empowerment.”
Organic Ginger Essential Oil Aroma
Organic Ginger Essential Oil has a deep, rich, hot and spicy aroma that is reminiscent of, but a lot more intense than, the smell of root ginger.
Organic Ginger Essential Oil For Internal Consumption
Organic Ginger Essential Oil can be used topically*, aromatically and it can also be ingested. However, it is always important to use extreme caution whenever using essential oils internally… a little goes a very long way.
*Organic essential oils are very concentrated and potent. It’s vitally important to use organic essential oils safely and sparingly. Pure organic essential oils need to be diluted appropriately, particularly when being applied to our skin.
For topical and aromatic uses, please refer to How To Use Essential Oils
For internal use, simply do one of the following.
- Add a single drop of Organic Ginger Essential Oil to your smoothie in the morning.
- Use an empty veggie capsule, placing one or two drops inside and swallowing it down with some water. *Veggie capsules are broadly available in the UK. There is NO NEED to buy them from Amazon. Buying from US businesses is wrecking the UK economy! Buy from local independents wherever possible.
- Add a single drop to sugar-free coconut water or any other drink which has a thicker consistency than water, or has a certain amount of oil within it, like homemade nut milks etc.
- Use one drop in chai tea, along with one drop of Coriander Essential Oil & one drop of Cinnamon Essential Oil. Make sure you use a full fat milk to make your chai tea.
Organic Ginger Essential Oil Cautions & Contraindications
Organic Ginger Essential Oil is considered non-toxic.
Side effects from Organic Ginger Essential Oil are very rare. However, in high doses, it may cause mild indigestion and irritation of the mouth. It can also occasionally cause diarrhoea.
You should consult your healthcare professional before using Organic Ginger Essential Oil if:
- You are pregnant or lactating
- You wish to use Ginger Essential Oil on a child under 10 years of age
- You are on blood thinning drugs.
However, Organic Ginger Essential Oil is generally considered safe for pregnant women as long as they don’t exceed more than one gramme per day. As this equates to anywhere between 20 and 35 drops of essential oil, you are very unlikely to come anywhere close to using this amount.
*Wild As The Wind do not advocate using any more than 12 drops of essential oil a day. However, it is possible to use up to 50 drops therapeutically, in extenuating circumstances. for acute periods of one to three days.
Organic Ginger Essential Oil is considered safe in children over the age of 2 years of age for digestive support (stomach ache & nausea).
If on blood thinning medication, consult your healthcare professional before using Organic Ginger Essential Oil because it can increase the risk of bleeding.
Don’t use Organic Ginger Essential Oil if you are on diabetes medications. Organic Ginger Essential Oil may lower blood sugar levels.
Don’t use Organic Ginger Essential Oil if you are on high blood pressure medications, because it is a pretty proficient blood pressure lowering aromatherapy oil itself.

I purchased this and a few other oils for a friend suffering with nausea. I must admit I had a sniff before gifting and it was deliciously refreshing and clarifying. Plan to get some for my next road trip.
