The benefits of Ginger oil
Improving liver function
A study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry shows that ginger essential oil is effective in the treatment of alcoholic fatty liver, which is closely related to cirrhosis and liver cancer, because of its antioxidant capacity and liver protection.
In the course of treatment, the mice with alcoholic fatty liver disease were treated for four weeks, and the results showed that the treatment had the effect of protecting the liver. After the mice were given alcohol, the metabolite production in the treatment group (taking ginger essential oil group) increased, and then returned to normal level and recovered.
Relieving Muscle Pain and Menstrual Pain
Ginger essential oil can relieve menstrual pain, headache, back pain and muscle ache due to its active ingredient, ginger protease. Studies have shown that taking one or two drops of ginger essential oil a day is more effective in treating muscular and joint pain than the pain reliever prescribed by a general practitioner because it reduces inflammation and increases blood circulation.
