Extracted through steam distillation, ginger grass essential oil presents a sharp, green, peppery aroma with underlying lemon notes. Its versatility shines in perfumes and blends, especially complementing rose or rose-scented oils. The oil is primarily utilized for circulation and stress reduction, and its soothing and calming properties make it an excellent choice for bath therapy and massage, creating an energetically uplifting atmosphere.
