Ginger: Zingiber officinale (Roscoe)
Why ginger? Ginger has long been known as a friend to the tummy, but it is also often used as a zesty flavoring for culinary purposes. Ginger has a warm, fresh, woody, spicy, almost citrus top note. The warm and spicy aroma of ginger is ideal to diffuse or blend during the holidays or anytime you’d like to create a cozy and clean environment.
Quality Assured: Our organic ginger essential oil is responsibly sourced from India. The essential oil is steamed distilled from the rhizome of the ginger root. Every batch of oil is Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth and produced without the use of genetic engineering, artificial fertilizers, or pesticides. Additionally, our expert aromatherapists here at the Apothecary Shoppe personally assess all of our oils—using touch, taste, smell, and lab analyses—to ensure that your essential oil is suitable for use and entirely free of adulterants.
Independent third-party lab reports including GC/MS and pesticide testing results are available upon request. Please send a request to apothecary@achs.edu and include the essential oil Latin name and lot number; results include a comparative analysis with ISO and the Pharmacopeia when available.
