Use in Skin Care and Remedies

A root as strongly perfumed as ginger is almost a flower. Indeed, it is said that essential oils represent a flower process and that a root rich in essential oils therefore has a flower-like quality. Roots act on the human nervous system, flowers on the metabolic system. Ginger root, with its flower-character, therefore develops its healing action on nervous processes in the metabolic system, particularly on the digestion.

In WALA medicines extracts of ginger root are found in the sugar-free Gentian Stomach Tonic* and in Bitter Elixir*, which contains sugar and is therefore more pleasant tasting. Both stimulate the digestion and help relieve poor appetite, fullness and nausea, particularly motion sickness.
