Ginger plant is said to originate from India， China and Java， yet is also native to Africa and the West Indies. It was most likely brought to Europe between the 10th and 15th century as a condiment and spice. Ginger is a perennial herb and grows to about 3 - 4 feet high with a thick spreading tuberous rhizome. Every year it shoots up a stalk with narrow spear-shaped leaves， as well as white or yellow flowers growing directly from the root. It has been used as a medicine since very early times and is recorded in the literature of the ancient Greeks， Romans， Arabians， Indians and Chinese. Asian medicine uses dried ginger for stomach problems such as stomach-ache， diarrhea， and nausea. The Chinese also use it to boost the heart and to help with mucus and phlegm. The name ginger is said to be derived from the Gingi district in India， where tea made from ginger is used for stomach upsets. The Majestic Pure Ginger Oil is 100% Pure and Natural.
