Ginger CO2 vs EO

The process of steam distillation (ethereal oil) is unable to extract ginger’s most important and therapeutic compounds – Gingerol and Shogaol. Vizü decided to source for the highest quality CO2 extraction of ginger which is most often prized by herbalists and practitioners of traditional Chinese and Indian medicine. 


Cited from Tisserand Institute , “The composition of a CO2 extract is generally different from the equivalent essential oil. Because of these differences, CO2 extracts can have distinct therapeutic properties. For example Ginger CO2 contains gingerols, constituents that give ginger its pungent taste. Gingerols are especially effective in treating nausea…”.

What is CO2 extract?
CO2 extracted oils are high quality oils extracted using carbon dioxide in liquid form, as the solvent for lipophilic plant ingredients. There are not any waste streams and emissions involved in this eco-friendly technology. When carbon dioxide is converted to liquid by using low temperatures and high pressure, it becomes a safe and effective solvent that allows all the desirable active constituents of the botanical to be collected without the risk of heat, light and air (oxygen) degradation. Once the extraction is complete, the carbon dioxide is allowed to return to its natural gaseous state, leaving behind only the extracted essence of the plant. CO2 extracted oils are the closest representation of the natural plant ever achieved. Highly concentrated and more complete than essential oils, these CO2 extracts can be used at low amount in carrier oils and other base products.

Zingiber officinale

Ginger CO2 extract is recommended to be used as an ingredient for massage oils; to provide warming effect and therapeutic benefits of ginger. This is most recommended for anti-nausea, morning sickness, motion sickness, or post surgical nausea. It can also be used in body pain relief blends to stimulate circulation. 


This extract contains gingerols and shogaols that give ginger its extreme heat. Gingerol has demonstrated antioxidant, anti-inflammation, and anti-tumour promoting properties, especially in the colon, breast, ovarian and pancreas.


In the British Herbal Pharmacopoeia, Ginger is specifically indicated for flatulent intestinal colic. 


Ginger has been used as a medicine in Asian, Indian and Arabic herbal traditions since ancient times. Ginger has been used for at least 2500 years in China, India and Tibet as an anti-inflammatory for arthritic pain. 


In addition to these medicinal uses, ginger continues to be valued around the world as an important cooking spice and is believed to help the common cold, flu-like symptoms, headaches and even painful menstrual periods. Ginger is native to Asia where its use as a culinary spice spans at least 4,400 years.


Warming massage (for stomach and feet): 


  • Add 35 drops of Ginger CO2 + 10 drops of Turmeric CO2 + 2 drops Cinnamon bark CO2, into 30 ml of Black cumin seed oil
  • Massage when your soles are tired, or when you have a tummy ache or feeling bloated.
  • *Note: Wash hands thoroughly after using; as touching areas with thinner skin will cause a lingering hot, spicy sensation.

Anti-nausea oil: 


  • Combine 7ml of Ginger CO2 and 3ml of Peppermint EO together in a tinted glass bottle.
  • Simply inhale straight from the bottle when needed. 

Ginger CO2 extract is very potent; it is best to use low amounts in dilution. Add drop by drop into your blends until the desired effect is achieved; should be used very sparingly due to its intensity and aroma strength. Though it is also used in supplement products, we do not suggest for oral use as it is dangerous without proper knowledge of dilution. Vizü suggests topical use of this supplement grade ingredient.


Non-toxic, irritant in high concentration, slightly phototoxic, may cause sensitization in some individuals.
