🛁
Warm BathFor evening relaxation, mix
max. 3–5 drops of ginger oil with vegetable oil or a neutral bath base and only then add to the bathtub. This creates a pleasantly warming bath for winter evenings.
💆
Massage BlendsAdd
1–2 drops of ginger per 10 ml of carrier oil (e.g. jojoba, almond or jojoba oil). This creates a massage blend suitable for the feeling of warming stressed muscles and joints.
❄️
After Exertion & Cold Hands/FeetA blend of carrier oil and
one drop of ginger oil is popular in practice for gentle massage of cold hands or feet – for a pleasant warming sensation.
Ginger is a very potent oil – a really small amount is sufficient for normal use.
