Over the last year or so, I’ve become a huge believer in the power of essential oils. There is a handful of them that have really improved my life. I used tea tree oil to disinfect my house, lavender oil when my skin is inflamed, and peppermint oil when I have an upset stomach! Not to mention, I diffuse Frankincense on a regular basis because the smell is absolutely incredible! More recently, a friend recommended that I try Ginger oil due to its anti-inflammatory characteristics, and I’ve been hooked. Ginger oil is my new favorite, keep reading to see why below!

A component in ginger oil known by the name of zigibain is shown to actually reduce and reverse the effects of inflammation throughout the body. To take, dilute 2-3 drops of Ginger oil to a cup of warm water and drink once daily.

An incredibly soothing oil, ginger is also known for reducing feelings of anxiety or depression. If your mood is in need of a quick boost, just add a few drops of oil to your diffuser and let sit for a few hours.
