Essential Oil Spotlight – Ginger Oil

OIL OF THE MONTH – GINGER

The next oil on our list to help you on your weight loss journey is ginger (Zingiber Officinale).  Ginger has been around and used for over a thousand years for its medicinal and culinary properties in China, India, and Greek civilizations. It can be eaten fresh, dried, steeped as a tea or grated into your vegetable juice. However, the dried root is the source for tincture, supplements and my personal favorite, ginger essential oil. Ginger oil has a thin consistency, is light yellow in color with a pleasant pungent aroma. Still the most superior ginger oil comes from distilling fresh ginger root.

The top 10 ginger health benefits are the following:

  1.  Nausea Relief
  2.  Digestive Support
  3.  Heal Ulcers
  4.  Boost Immunity
  5.  Improves Diabetes
  6.  Anti-Fungal
  7.  Reduces Pain
  8.  Fights Cancer
  9.  Weight Loss
  10. Anti-Inflammatory

For the purposes of this article, we are going to concentrate on the ninth benefit: weight loss. To help you lose weight, ginger is a multitasker for sure. For one, it helps to regulate your cholesterol and reduces blood pressure, which could prevent obesity related illnesses like heart disease and certain cancers. Ginger is also used to increase your metabolism, stimulate circulation and get rid of toxins from the body. Ginger also acts as a thermogenic, in other words, raising the body’s temperature so it burns fat. It leaves you with a burning sensation that is wonderful as a pain reliever, just like the over the counter capisin that is used for knee pain, arthritic pain, and muscular pain.

As we seek a change of caloric intake and increase our mobility with workouts and walking, there can be an increase of inflammation. Ginger provides a boosting of metabolism and a burning of fat. Regarding this factor, ginger prevents the blood vessels from becoming inflamed and allows the increase of blood flow throughout the body which helps to cure the pain.

Another wonderful ability of ginger oil is that it acts as an appetite suppressant which means a reduction in food consumption, and eventually, weight loss. Ginger and weight loss go together because of the effects the ginger has on the body.

But overall, ginger is good for your digestive system; helping to regulate and aid the movement of food through your stomach, and small and large intestines. When everything moves more smoothly, you benefit by losing weight more easily.
