## About
Some winter cold settles in deep, the kind that asks for more than another blanket. This is the warmest of our gingers: a total CO2 extract of organically produced ginger root, made in Germany, with a fresh, lively scent.A total extract keeps the gingerols and shogaols, the compounds that give fresh ginger its heat and that do not come through distillation. Used in proper dilution it is very warming without burning. It is said that grandmothers in China add it to a footbath to warm themselves all over when they are chilled.DetailsBotanical name: Zingiber officinaleMethod: total CO2 extraction of organically produced rootsMade in: GermanyShelf life: about 2 to 3 years after openingHow to useIt is at its best inhaled, from a personal inhaler.
