Use of essential oils for transplant patients

Good morning
I'm a liver transplant patient, just celebrated my 4th transversary. I'm curious about using ginger essential oils for my IBS symptoms. As a transplant patient I'm very limited in what I can take. I know I can't take ginger orally. I've googled and am waiting for an answer from my team, but was very curious what some of your thoughts are. Thank you very much 😊🇨🇦🍁

When I was gifted with a liver transplant 27 years ago in Rochester, I was told "if you can smell it, your liver has to process it". The same applies to any substance that touches our skins. Think gas stations, think air deodorizers, think air freshener sprays.....the list goes on. Think deodorant, lotions, make-up, hair coloring, hair spray, colognes and perfumes.....Before knowing about this, I was very aware of what I ate or drank but this is another dimension. I don't live my life paranoid about it but the awareness of how those items might challenge my precious liver is very real.
