Om Yoga Magazine — February 2018

February can be a cold and difficult month as winter is still with us and spring can seem a long
way off. To warm ourselves up and bring some spice into the month use ginger oil (zingiber
officinale). Ginger is a wonderfully warming oil; it warms not only the body but also the mind and
is a powerful healing oil. Start your day with a quick ginger boost by placing one drop of the oil
in some milk and pour into the bath, sit back and allow the ginger to bring some much needed
heat to the cold winter mornings. The same can be done in the evenings to help ease any aches
and pains or cold and flu symptoms.
For immediate muscle relief, place a drop of ginger oil in sesame oil and rub onto any
affected areas. Alternatively, make a hot compress by wetting a cloth with warm water and
placing one drop of ginger oil into it, then hold on the affected area for 15 minutes or so.
Ginger oil also works well at grounding and centering and is a lovely oil to use in meditations.
Place a couple of drops in a diffuser and allow the oil to fill your space with the warming aroma;
as it does so, it will also work on strengthening you and helping to fight off any winter blues.
Ginger oil is an incredibly strong, powerful oil so only use with correct guidance and in very
low concentration. It may also irritate sensitive skin.
