How to prepare ginger oil and all its properties.
We can tell you that ginger has been used in the cuisine of many countries for many years for its unique flavor and its great health benefits.
From a medicinal perspective, ginger has been used for its digestive, analgesic, antibacterial, aphrodisiac, hepatoprotective, and many other functions.
Many people believe that its antioxidant properties have benefits in treating cancer, especially when combined with turmeric and garlic.
It is one of the most appreciated spices for its slightly camphorous citrus aroma and spicy flavor.
It is an excellent choice for seasoning fish, meat, and poultry, and also for preparing infusions, juices, and smoothies.
Ginger is one of the most versatile roots, and from it we can obtain an oil that can be used in different ways. Today, you will learn how to prepare it and get the most out of it.
Relieving pain is one of its main functions.
Muscle pain, osteoarthritis, arthritis, and rheumatism can all be reduced with the topical use of this wonderful oil, which also promotes blood circulation.
All of these analgesic properties are also used in aromatherapy, as ginger oil can also soothe stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting.
Now, let’s get to work! It’s time to prepare this home remedy, which is not only effective but also natural.
The first thing to do is thoroughly wash the ginger root and cut it into thin slices. Another option is to grate the ginger to obtain a more concentrated preparation (approximately 40 grams).
In a container, preferably, add half a liter of olive oil and then add the ginger.
Place it in the oven for 2 hours at 60°C.
Once removed from the oven, let it sit until it reaches room temperature and then strain it through a very fine sieve.
There should be no trace of ginger left in the oil.
It’s important to store the oil in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, preferably glass, in a cool, dry place.
You can use it for 4 or 5 months.
