How to use ginger
Get a tablespoon of fresh juice from ginger or a couple of drops ginger essential oil. Add the ginger to an ample amount of jojoba oil to dilute. Ginger juice or oil is highly potent, a little bit goes a long way and you never want to use it on its own.
Apply the mix as you would a hot oil treatment, let it sit in for 15-30 minutes under a hooded dryer or thermal deep conditioning cap and rinse.
You can buy ginger oil or make it yourself:
- Wash off fresh ginger and allow it to dry off for a couple of hours
- Shred the ginger into pieces with a grater
- Add the shredded ginger to an oven safe bowl
- Add in 1 1/2 cups olive oil
- Put the bowl into the oven and let it bake on 150 degrees low heat for two hours
- Once cooled strain the mixture using cheese cloth or a strainer to remove the grated pieces of ginger into the bottles you will be storing in
- Make sure that you keep it in a cool dry place (shelf life is 6 months)
To make ginger juice:
- Wash off the ginger
- Chop the ginger into pieces
- Place in a high powered blender (I use my Ninja)
- Add filtered water, enough to cover the ginger
- Blend
- Strain the ginger pieces out and store the juice in a container
- Keep in your fridge for 2 weeks max
Again, never use ginger on its own always dilute!
Do you use ginger in your routine?
