Indigenous to Southeast Asia, ginger is a rhizome; a sturdy, knotted mass of roots that spreads underground. It proudly emerges above with twelve-inch long green leaves and yellow-white blossoms. For 2,000 years, Traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic health practices have used the powerhouse ginger root to elevate the spirit, stimulate the passions, and brighten occasional blue moods.

History of Ginger
Ginger’s widespread roots trace back thousands of years to India, China and Java, where it was used to “warm” the body, and in cooking. Thanks to Marco Polo’s adventurous spirit, ginger became the spice in demand in Europe and eventually around the globe. Stimulating for the spirit, ginger oil has sensual undertones that ignite the passions and spicy overtones that give a lift to energy and mood.
