Ginger Root is traditionally used in herbal medicine as an expectorant and an antitussive to help relieve bronchitis, coughs and colds, and also help to expel phlegm. Ginger root is a perennial plant and is harvested for its root (rhizome). The major compounds in ginger, from studies done on the rhizome extracts, have yielded active gingerols which can then be converted to shogaols, zingerone, and paradol. The compound gingerol appears to be responsible for its characteristic taste. Zingerone and shogaols are found in small amounts in fresh ginger and in larger amounts in dried or extracted products. Ginger has also been used for osteoarthritis. It inhibits thromboxane synthetase and is a prostacyclin agonist. Prostaglandins induce vasodilation and increase tissue permeability which, in turn, promote the influx of fluids and leukocytes. Ultimately, the classic symptoms of inflammation results in swelling, redness, warmth, and pain. It is believed that at least one of the mechanisms by which ginger produces its anti-inflammatory effects is through the inhibition of prostaglandin and leukotriene biosynthesis. Through this dual inhibition of eicosanoid biosynthesis, ginger decreases capillary permeability, thus reducing swelling and the influx of inflammatory mediators. Ginger root possesses the following properties: antiemetic (vomiting), anti- inflammatory, analgesic (pain relieve), and cardiotonic properties (heart tonic). Ginger is a cholagogic agent that promotes the flow of bile into the intestine, especially through contraction of the gallbladder, supporting elimination pathways and digestion.
