Ginger Oil  Zingiber officinale

Ginger essential oil is derived from the fresh rhizome of the ginger plant, sourced in Madagascar. Ginger oil has a hot, spicy flavour that can take the place of whole ginger in recipes or add a warm, sweet taste when added to your favourite herbal tea. Ginger essential oil can also be applied topically or inhaled for a soothing aroma.
