Plai essential oil stands out from other members of the ginger family because it’s cooling (not warming, like other ginger oils). It has a fresh, herbal, spicy aroma that can help calm hot emotions and comfort the spirit. Plai oil’s cool touch can also comfort warm, puffy, sore areas. Plai includes the component terpinen-4-ol (also found in tea tree oil), making it an effective choice for natural cleaning. Our wildcrafted plai essential oil is steam distilled from the rhizomes of flowering plants in the beautiful rainforests of Thailand.
