Properties: Ginger is a multipurpose essential oil that is very useful for reducing inflammation. In a massage oil or liniment, its heating action relieves pain from arthritis or sore muscles, menstrual cramps, and headaches. Ginger stimulates both appetite and poor blood circulation and relieves nausea and motion sickness. It also acts as a sexual stimulant. Ginger reduces drowsiness and irritability and jump starts the brain to keep concentration and mental energy high.
