Abstract
Background: Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) belongs to the family
Zingiberaceae. The health?promoting perspective of ginger is attributed
to its rich phytochemistry. This study aimed to review the current
evidence on ginger effects as an anti?inflammatory and anti?oxidative.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE for related publications using
“ginger” and “anti?oxidative” and “ginger” and “anti?inflammatory” as
keywords. This search had considered Papers that had been published
between 2000 and 2010 without any filter.
Conclusions: The anticancer potential of ginger is well documented
and its functional ingredients like gingerols, shogaol, and paradols are
the valuable ingredients which can prevent various cancers. This review
concludes to favor ginger but some ambiguities necessitate further
research before claiming its efficacy.
