Guest guest Posted January 15, 2000 Report Share Posted January 15, 2000 Is Ginger not used much by others? It seems there are only two of us who use it. I use Ginger in a lotion to help with circulation for my father who had a stroke. Does anyone use Ginger in any blends? Miriam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave my bro in law some to put 1 drop in each workboot to help keep feet warm while working outside fixing traffic signals in subzero weather, he also takes a couple drops internally OR takes a capsule OR fresh grated.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2000 Report Share Posted January 15, 2000 Dear Miriam, I prefer to use other eos rather than Ginger because Ginger is rather warming and each person is different when it comes to using warming eos. I prefer to use Peppermint balanced with Rosemary & Lavender to get a good blend for circulation. Peppermint is cooling but does much the same as Ginger and Rosemary is warming so that it can balance the Peppermint. Of course, I was taught this way and that probably has more to do with my preferrences than anything else. Also, I don't particulary care that much for the smell of Ginger.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2000 Report Share Posted January 16, 2000 Hi Miriam, I use Ginger for when I feel I need to warm up my innards . Colds, flu, digestive stuff, etc. Ginger is also known to be used for rheumatism, bronchitis, dyspepsia, constipation. You could try it with some of these other oils: Clove, Spruce, Orange, Patchouly, Frankincense, Cinnamon Bark, even Myrrh. Or try it with Sandalwood, Nutmeg, Rosewood, Sage. All of these go well, depending on what makes you feel good. Since it's rich and earthy it can blend easily with the same and / or complimentary scents. Have fun!!

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2000 Report Share Posted January 16, 2000 >How would you use ginger for morning sickness? One drop in a massage oil for the upper abdomen and chest if the woman doesn't have very sensitive skin and/or three or four drops in 2ml of carrier oil and then a small amount placed on a tissue and sniffed when engulfed by waves of nausea. My physician recommends Jamaica ginger (essence) as a warm drink together with gelatin and honey sipped first thing in the morning. Actually for most nausea I find simply sniffing peppermint straight from the bottle most comforting for me personally, but it is contra-indicated in pregnancy.
