Ginger Lily Co2 from Hedychium spicatum roots is botanically related to our beautiful
White Ginger Lily Absolute from Hedichyium coronarium flowers but aromatically quite different. This Ginger Lily Co2 Select extract has an
uplifting and euphoric sweet, fruity melon-like buttery aroma with complex notes that blend well with most citrus and floral oils. It is a concentrated thick opaque paste that requires gentle warming to liquefy.
Also known as Kapur kachri in Hindi and Shati in Ayurveda, Ginger Lily is used in Ayurvedic practitice primarily for respiratory problems and to increase circulation.
