A delightfully stimulating and invigorating oil, ginger is used globally as a culinary ingredient and as a digestive stimulant. The pronounced effects of this oil support and target the proper body responses of the immune system, physical discomfort, and the reaction of living tissue to irritation, injury, or infection.

This soft, warm oil contains unique qualities that promote powerful results while remaining gentle enough that ginger can be used on children and the elderly. It is a must-have for any essential oil home care kit.

Internal:  

Although the quality of Selah Oils is excellent, it is not advised to take essential oils internally unless under the guidance of a certified physician who is also certified in aromatherapy. We recommend getting internal dosing instructions from a licensed physician as some essential oils are not recommended for oral consumption. This is in no way a reflection on our oil quality, only a matter of safety and caution with respect to how concentrated essential oils are. When used within safe parameters, and under your physician's care, the quality of our essential oils is such that they can be used internally if deemed appropriate.

However, with that said, it is important to remember the extreme concentration of essential oils. "Using essential oils by rubbing them into the skin or via inhalation is in many cases more effective than oral delivery." (3. p. 96).

All cautions listed for individual oils do not include those cautions from ingestion.

Cautions

No contraindications known.

All cautions listed for individual oils do not include those cautions from ingestion. It is not advised to take essential oils internally unless under the guidance of a licensed physician who is also certified in aromatherapy.

If for any reason you get essential oils in your eyes, put carrier oil along the eyebrows above the eyes and on the cheekbones below the eyes.
