Ginger has long been used in traditional medicine. The part of the plant that’s used for these purposes is called the rhizome. While it may look like a root, the rhizome is actually an underground stem off of which roots branch.

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ginger oil is “generally recognized as safe” and few adverse effects have been reported.
