Description
Zingiber officinale, commonly known as ginger, is a plant species that is native to Southeast Asia and India. In India, ginger is mostly grown in the states of Kerala, Karnataka, and Maharashtra.
The active ingredients in ginger are gingerols and shogaols, which are natural compounds with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antioxidant properties. The rhizome, which is the underground stem of the ginger plant, is the primary part used for medicinal purposes.
The rhizome of the ginger plant can be extracted using various methods, including water and alcohol extraction. The extract is available in various forms, including essential oil, capsules, and powders, and can be purchased from health food stores or online retailers.
However, it’s important to talk to a healthcare provider before taking ginger, especially if you have any medical conditions or are taking medication. In addition, ginger may interact with certain medications and cause side effects, such as digestive issues and allergic reactions. It should not be used by pregnant or breastfeeding women without consulting a healthcare provider.
