Plai oil is a member of the Zingiberaceae family. This oil has a fresh, herbaceous, spicy aroma. It is classed as a top note and blends well with citrus, herby, minty and woodsy oils.
Along with helping to reduce pain and inflammation, it may also act as a digestive tonic and can help ease nausea and work to soothe irritable bowels. Plai essential oil is often more intense than other oils produced from plants of the ginger family.
Essential oils can be applied topically once diluted with a carrier oil. They are widely used in cosmetic goods and handmade crafts.
