Ginger Co2 Extract
Ginger oil CO2 extraction employs a cutting-edge technique called supercritical fluid extraction, a process that involves utilizing carbon dioxide in a supercritical state. This method ensures the preservation of the oil’s integrity and purity, capturing its full spectrum of beneficial compounds without any solvent residues.
Description
What is Ginger Oil CO2?
Ginger oil CO2 is a concentrated extract derived from ginger (Zingiber officinale) using carbon dioxide (CO2) as a solvent. Unlike traditional methods such as steam distillation, CO2 extraction allows for the preservation of a wider range of bioactive compounds present in the ginger rhizome, resulting in a more potent and aromatic oil.
Originating from Nigeria, Zingiber officinalis is the source of Ginger CO2 Extract, obtained through the meticulous Supercritical CO2 Extraction Method. This innovative technique harnesses the power of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide, yielding a robust concentration of aromatic compounds. Notably, this method leaves behind no chemical residues, ensuring the purity and integrity of the final product. Characterized by hues ranging from yellow to pale yellow, the extract boasts a thin consistency, derived from the dried rhizomes of the ginger plant.
Ginger exudes a warm, invigorating scent, reminiscent of fresh lemon with woody undertones and a potent spiciness. The resulting essential oil, ranging from dark red to brownish in color, possesses a strong aroma. To fully appreciate its vibrant and energetic essence, it’s recommended to utilize this potent oil in low percentages, allowing the true character of the ginger root to shine through.
Uses and Benefits
Ginger essential oil has long been prized for its therapeutic benefits, including its ability to alleviate menstrual discomfort, soothe queasiness, and enhance blood circulation. Additionally, its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and digestive properties make it a versatile remedy for various health issues.
When incorporated into a lotion or carrier oil, Ginger CO2 extract proves effective in relieving muscle and joint pain associated with aging or overuse. For topical application, blend 2 drops of Coriander oil, 1/2 cup of Epsom salt, 2 teaspoons of carrier oil, and 2 drops of Ginger essential oil into warm bath water. This soothing bath not only provides a mental boost but also encourages blood circulation throughout the body.
It’s important to exercise caution when using ginger essential oil due to its potent aroma. Start by adding it drop by drop to preferred carrier oils until the desired strength is achieved. For external use, always dilute the oil to prevent skin irritation, especially for those with sensitive skin. Avoid contact with eyes and conduct a patch test prior to use.
In Ayurveda, ginger, known as Vishabhesaj, is revered for its medicinal properties and versatility in both culinary and medicinal applications. It is widely used to promote overall well-being and good health.
Traditionally, ginger oil finds its place in perfumery and aromatherapy, as well as in herbal remedies, beverages, and cuisine. While the distilled version is preferred for skincare and personal care products, the concentrated Ginger CO2 extract is best suited for perfumery and oriental bases, imparting a spicy sweetness and warmth to fragrances.
Massage therapists, natural perfumers, and aromatherapists consider ginger essential oil a staple in their collections. Its invigorating aroma makes it an excellent choice for pre and post-exercise massage formulas, offering both physical and mental benefits according to ethnobotanists.
