As far as I can tell, it's soap like any other soap [SEP] Although the fragrance (and ingredients) claim to be ginger, coconut, and turmeric, it has more of a lemon fragrance to me, perhaps the blend of ginger and coconut. If you concentrate, you can smell the ginger, but if you just catch a whiff of it, I think you'd say it's lemon.<br /><br />It's a small hard-milled bar and it cleanses well and is refreshing. Beyond that, it seems pretty expensive for the size of the bar, even if it is hard milled.<br /><br />As regards the claims made; I have no idea. I think it would take months, if not years for the ingredients to achieve the claims that the seller makes, especially since this is a topical application. I have done a lot of research on nutraceutical ingredients and, for sure, both ginger and turmeric are well documented and studied beneficial products, but not necessarily when used topically.<br /><br />If you buy into the claims, try it; at worst it's a decent, if expensive, soap.<br /><br />Review of: Lymphatic Drainage Organic Ginger Soap
