How does zedoary turmeric oil compare with turmeric oil, ginger oil and other Curcuma oils?
Zedoary turmeric oil is hotter, drier and more medicinal than turmeric oil, deeper and earthier than ginger oil, and higher in germacrone/furanodiene than the common Curcuma longa turmeric oil. Within the Curcuma family, the 'three sisters' (Ezhu, Yujin, Jianghuang) come from different rhizome types with clearly different aromas and uses.
