Detailed description

Ginger root(Zingiber officinale Roscoe) comes from a perennial plant belonging to the Zingiberaceae family. It is endemic to Asia and Africa, where it has been used over the ages in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine.

Commonly consumed as a spice, ginger root has many applications in herbal medicine, notably to soothe headaches, or to combat nausea and vomiting.

Numerous bioactive ginger compounds have been identified, including phenolic compounds (gingerols, shogaols and paradols). The characteristic, specific aroma of ginger is mainly caused by sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, as well as monoterpene hydrocarbons.

Ginger is said to have biological activities, acting in particular as an antioxidant. It is also said to be active in the respiratory tract, the joint system and the heart.
