Aromatherapy

There are several ways that you can inhale ginger oil for aromatherapy. You can choose which one is right for you:

Diffuser

Diffusers are a great way to add a pleasing scent to a room. In some cases, the essential oil may need to be diluted in water. Always be sure to carefully follow the instructions that come with your diffuser.

Steam inhalation

To use ginger oil for steam inhalation, follow the steps below:

• Heat water until it’s steaming and place it in a bowl.
• Add a few drops of ginger oil to the steaming water.
• Drape a towel over your head.
• Keeping your eyes closed, place your head over the steaming bowl and inhale deeply.

Sprays

Ginger oil in a spray can be used to freshen the air in a room. To make a spray of ginger oil, you can do the following:

• Add ginger oil to water. Recommended ratio is using 10 to 15 drops per ounce of water.
• Add a dispersing agent such as solubol if you wish. This can help distribute the essential oil in the water.
• Shake and spray. Shake before every spray.

Topical applications

Ginger oil that’s being applied to the skin should always be diluted in carrier oil first. Some examples of carrier oils include almond oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil, and avocado oil.

CSH recommends that an essential oil solution shouldn’t exceed 3 to 5 percent. For example, to make a 3 percent solution, NAHA recommends adding 20 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier oil.
