About Me

Welcome to The Essential Ginger Shop!  I am shop owner and creator, Aubrie Ridinger, and here's my story.

In late 2016, I began looking into the health benefits of using essential oils to support sleep.  Our then almost two-year-old daughter was having night terrors that was keeping everyone up for almost two weeks straight.  Our babysitter encouraged us to try out juniper berry essential oil.  I was desperate.  I would have tried just about anything.  After one night of applying the oil to her toes, she slept through the night.  I thought it was a coincidence, but a week later, she was still sleeping through the night.  I was convinced in the power of oils.

Early in 2017, I enrolled in Doterra's wellness program to learn more about essential oils and have access to the wholesale price.  We added essential oils to our water, diffused regularly, and gave each other massages.  It still seemed that there was more that we could do with these oils to support our overall health and wellness.

In January 2018, I launched The Essential Ginger page on Facebook, Instagram, and created a blog, www.theessentialginger.com, to share with my followers my passion for essential oils and healthy living.  I began creating DIY projects and shared some with my family and friends, including Whipped Body Butter and Exfoliating Sugar Scrubs.  I knew I had something special!

I was looking to create handcrafted products here in Northwest Ohio, using organic and natural ingredients with 100% pure, therapeutic grade essential oils.  The Essential Ginger Shop takes the guess work out of whether the ingredients are safe or not, because there are no additives or fillers used in our products.  Just natural ingredients and pure essential oils!

Thank you for visiting our shop!  If you have any questions, feel free to reach out via email to [email protected].  I would love to share more information about our products, essential oils, and healthy living with you!
