Ginger Essential Oil
Ginger Essential Oil is spicy. It creates heat internally, which aids digestion, decreases flatulence and treats nausea and morning sickness. If it's your stomach that ails you, add 10 drops of Ginger Essential Oil to 1 Tbsp of carrier oil and massage directly onto your abdomen. Ginger Essential Oil that has been CO2 extracted can be more irritating to the skin so be sure to dilute.
Ginger also invigorates the mind and chases away confusion, which is why you'll find it in the Pink Apothecary Brain Buzz products. Goodbye, Afternoon Slump! Hello, Clarity!

*** As a company, we have chosen not to sell essential oil singles. We believe a properly formulated synergy amplifies the sum of all its parts. While each essential oil is fantastic on its own, it's as a team they become mighty; we like the science of blending. Because of this, I am often asked which retail essential oil company I trust for singles. Ancient Apothecary is a brand I trust: Ginger.
