As a potential chemo-preventive agent for a variety of human diseases, ginger, the rhizome of the Zingiber officinale plant, which belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, has demonstrated a therapeutic role in health management since ancient times. It is extensively utilized in conventional and Ayurvedic medicine to treat and manage a wide range of illnesses, such as diabetes, rheumatism, asthma, and stroke. Scientific evidence suggests that ginger may help with the symptoms of motion sickness, nausea, and vomiting after surgery, cancer treatment, or pregnancy. It also appears to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Ginger makes a spicy, aromatic spice for cooking. It's also frequently pickled in vinegar or sherry for a snack or cooked to flavor a variety of Indian dishes and herbal remedies. There have been numerous reports of ginger's chemical components. Ginger's diverse biological activities and ethnomedical significance can be attributed to its active ingredients, which include zingerone, paradol, shogoal, gingerol, and other terpenoids and flavonoids, according to phytochemical analysis of the root vegetable. The molecular mechanism underlying the anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, hepatoprotective, and anti-cancer properties of active ingredients involves inducing apoptosis and modulating gene expression.
