Ginger has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years, with references dating back to ancient Chinese and Indian healing practices.
The ginger plant belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, the same botanical family as turmeric and cardamom, which explains certain shared aromatic properties.
Ginger oil is extracted from the rhizome of the plant, which is actually an underground stem rather than a root as is often thought.
