This small book of 100-pages explains in detail the growing practices and the health benefits of three prominent members of Ginger family (i.e. Zingiberaceae) such as Ginger, Turmeric, and Indian arrowroot. Ginger is tropical and subtropical in its growth habit. It is grown for its aromatic rhizomes which are used as a vegetable, a spice and as a traditional medicine. Ginger rhizomes are often called 'ginger root' though it is not actually a root. As in case of all plants belonging to ginger family, turmeric also prefers tropical and subtropical moist climate for its growth. Turmeric plant is an herbaceous perennial crop mainly grown for its edible rhizomes which are used as an important spice, condiment and dye. Turmeric is also known as 'Indian saffron'. Indian arrowroot is cultivated as a root crop just like ginger and turmeric for extracting arrowroot powder. Arrowroot powder is believed to have numerous medicinal properties.

"There are so many essential oils out there, I'm not even sure I have all of them yet. I recently placed an order with my provider and was given a free small bottle of Ginger essential oil as a bonus for being a loyal customer. I'm wondering what Ginger can be used for?" Ginger essential oil can be used for several home remedies, or to add a touch of flavor to a dish that calls for using fresh ginger. It can also be used to alleviate nausea, upset stomach, and motion sickness. You can also add a drop of Ginger to a full glass of water and drink it once a day to help support a healthy digestive tract. For those who suffer from migraines, ginger is a blessing in disguise. Add 5-7 drops of Ginger to a diffuser and place it in an enclosed room with the migraine sufferer. Relief should come in as little as 30-60 minutes, depending on severity of migraine.
