GROUND FORCE
Ginger essential oil offers courage, counsel and grounding at a profound level. Its warming and strengthening aroma have been uniquely recognised across the ancient world in all three systems of medicine: Ayurvedic, Chinese and Greek. If you are drawn to ginger, you may be seeking an ally or your own inner ally in overcoming trauma, addiction or self-sabotaging behaviour. Or you may see it as a sign to take a more direct and loving approach to empowering yourself. 

THE FACTS
Ginger essential oil is steam distilled from the dried, unpeeled and ground rhizome. I have also worked with some nice quality Ginger CO2 extracts. 

Clinically speaking, ginger is used for cold and chronic conditions where you want to warm up the body and stimulate a system such as the muscular or immune systems. It's great for all sorts of digestive complaints, especially nausea. I always bring a packet of ginger tea or chewable ginger candies on long car rides! 


DRIVING ENERGY
The driving energy of ginger is, "courage". It's one of those oils that I bring out in my own practice when someone is struggling with an issue that can cause them to just check out every time they get close to it, and therefore never really be able to address it. It powerfully grounds and protects so that one can stay in their body long enough to heal and release. Healing is not something we can do by glossing over our discomfort. We need to be able to sit with the things that have caused us pain and integrate our fractured parts into the whole. Ginger is the awesome and loving ally that can see us through. 

MYTH AND ARCHETYPE
Ginger is associated with the god Mars, perhaps because to really face our fears and leave no stone unturned as spiritual warriors, it takes nothing less than such a powerful and driven energy. The archetype that ginger represents is the "Liberator". Think of people like Ghandi or Joan D'Arc. Both were people who used their inner courage and valour to lead others from darkness into Light.
