“…Due to these overwhelming activities supported by preclinical evidence, people of different cultures have traditionally applied ginger as a medicinal agent for a long time ago. A vast body of anecdotal evidence, which can be used to support ginger uses and efficacy, can be found in various traditional systems of medicine belonging to Indian, Unani, Chinese, Japanese and other cultures [ 98 ].…”

“…Ginger rhizome is an important drug in the Chinese and Japanese medicinal systems [ 98 ]. In Chinese medicine, fresh ginger (Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens) is used as an antiemetic, antitussive, or expectorant, and is used to induce perspiration and dispel cold, whereas the dried ginger is used for stomachache, vomiting, and diarrhea accompanied by cold extremities and faint pulse [ 105 ].…”

Plants of the genus Zingiber (Family Zingiberaceae) are widely used throughout the world as food and medicinal plants. They represent very popular herbal remedies in various traditional healing systems; in particular, rhizome of Zingiber spp. plants has a long history of ethnobotanical uses because of a plethora of curative properties. Antimicrobial activity of rhizome essential oil has been extensively confirmed in vitro and attributed to its chemical components, mainly consisting of monoterpene and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons such as α-zingiberene, ar-curcumene, β-bisabolene and β-sesquiphellandrene. In addition, gingerols have been identified as the major active components in the fresh rhizome, whereas shogaols, dehydrated gingerol derivatives, are the predominant pungent constituents in dried rhizome. Zingiber spp. may thus represent a promising and innovative source of natural alternatives to chemical food preservatives. This approach would meet the increasing concern of consumers aware of the potential health risks associated with the conventional antimicrobial agents in food. This narrative review aims at providing a literature overview on Zingiber spp. plants, their cultivation, traditional uses, phytochemical constituents and biological activities.

Major attention is being paid to ginger's potential clinical uses in the hopes of achieving significant therapeutic effects. This thorough review seeks to offer a thorough explanation of the clinical effects of ginger in many documented areas. Systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and randomised controlled trials on the effects of ginger were mentioned. The study design, population characteristics, and primary outcomes of the review and research papers were all thoroughly examined. Along with anti-inflammatory effects, it has been shown to help cancer types, digestive issues, anti-diabetic metabolic syndromes, and motion sickness and vomiting during pregnancy. Calcium channel blockers as well as antibiotics have shown synergistic effect with ginger in preventing platelet aggregation. Ginger has the capacity to fend off illness.
