Ginger is a tropical perennial herb that can grow up to a height of one meter. Its flowers are white or yellow, and wither in about 36 hours. Ginger has lumpy stems that are thick and spreading. The tubers are macerated and distilled at a high temperature to extract essential oils. The aroma of the essential oil starts with a lemony scent, while the middle note is a warm spicy and woody scent, leaving a spicy and balsamic aroma after volatilization.
For hundreds of years, ginger has been used for cooking and medical purposes in Asia. In the Middle Ages, it spread to Europe through the Spice Route, and then to South America by the Spanish. In Ayurvedic therapy in India, ginger is an all-purpose medicine that can purify the body and mind. In Chinese medicine, ginger can treat the cold, and dried ginger can restore the body's energy.
Ginger can warm the body and improve fatigue, as well as soothe gastrointestinal discomfort.
