Why use ginger essential oil?

It is unanimously recognized for its anti-nausea properties, used for motion sickness and even in cases of nausea in pregnant women beyond the third month. Many anti-nausea products sold in pharmacies are formulated with ginger rhizome. Ideal in cases of declining sexuality and reduced libido, ginger acts in synergy with the essential oil of ylang-ylang, that of Chinese cinnamon as well as essential oils such as rosewood or the very expensive and so prized Damascus Rose. It is only slightly irritating to the skin.
