Ginger for Stamina

Zingiber officinale

The card I chose for my Sunday Essential Oil Reflection is Ginger.  Ginger is for stamina, it is also warming and soothing for aches and pains!

Ginger with its spicy, warming, stimulating and comforting aroma is very helpful for nervous exhaustion and tiredness.  It has cheering and aphrodisiac properties which can warm flat emotions and sharpen senses.

Ginger is excellent for many digestive complaints and can be used in compresses, baths, local massage, diffusers and inhalations for gas, diarrhea, loss of appetite, indigestion, nausea and many others.  It is warming and comforting and has great analgesic properties for arthritis, neuralgia, muscle aches and pains etc.  It also has expectorant properties which make it a good addition to blends for chronic bronchitis, catarrh, sinusitis etc.  It is helpful in drying excess mucus.

Energetically, Ginger is used in sexuality, love and courage blends.  It is an oil that can help one to connect with the belief that we deserve to experience abundant life and invites this abundance by helping us to connect into the richness of the universe.

Caution: Generally considered non-toxic, non-irritating and non-sensitizing, however it should be used in low concentrations as it may irritate sensitive skin.
