Our Recommendations:  If pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have liver or kidney disfunction, consult your physician before use. Avoid eyes, mucous membranes, and sensitive skin. Keep out of reach of children.
If applying an essential oil to your skin always perform a small patch test to an insensitive part of the body (If it is not already diluted, dilute with a carrier oil).
Store in a covered or dark, airtight container in the refrigerator or cool area for longest shelf life.

This is my second purchase of Davina Ginger oil. The smell is wonderful, I mix it with Davina Turmeric oil and roll it on my lower back. I love how fast I received my order and it was safely packaged.

Never tried ginger essential oil, but decided to give it a go, like the qualities of it and the surprisingly gentle fragrance, goes well with cinnamon bark and orange too. Another lovely oil from Davina Wellness

This has been a great oil to use on myself and my kids. Great for indigestion and nausea. My kids tend to get motion sickness in the car. Ginger oil mixed with peppermint oil before we get in the car works great! I even use this same mix for PMS issues. This oil will definitely become a must in my inventory!

I’ve been searching forever for a ginger EO that actually smells like ginger and finally found it in this.

Good for nausea
Reina –
This is the highest quality ginger eo I have been able to find and the price is fantastic. It’s the perfect balance of bright, slight citrus, peppery goodness. Wonderful for digestive issues as well as having an overall brightening effect for mood balance.
Melony –
The Davina Wellness Ginger EO has a warm, uplifting, comforting aroma. It smells like fresh ginger. I like to combine it with Davina’s Ho wood EO in my diffuser.
Nicole M. –
I purchased this oil due to my son having digestive issues at times. This oil also aids when in high elevation and nausea occurs, not to mention sea sickness. Put a drop or two in some water/any liquid and consume. Enjoy it a hot cup of water for Ginger Tea. I am very pleased that I made this purchase. It is potent, like all essential oils, so again a drop or two is all that is needed for relief of the above mentioned occurrences.
Nicole –
I use ginger for the purpose of an immunity boost. I enjoy it diluted as a tea. Or, if I feel as if a cold is coming on I will consume a diluted drop or two. I use coconut oil for dilution. Also, I use it for digestion issues, but mostly for the purposes of fighting off viruses. It either aids in killing off the virus or shortens the duration of it.
Jazmin –
I love ginger. It has so many uses. Blended with turmeric or with lemon for inflammation works great!
Nicole Mangum –
This is the first time I’ve tried the single ginger oil. I love the fragrance! I’ve been applying it on my belly for help with digestion issues. I’ve combined it with coconut oil, oregano and tea tree to apply to a small rash on my arm since they all have healing properties. It’s helping. My order came quickly and was packaged well -all of my orders from Davina Wellness have been.
