Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) is a perennial herb that grows in India, China, Mexico and several other countries. It has been used as a Traditional Chinese Medicine over 2,500 years to treat abdominal bloating, coughing, vomiting, diarrhoea and rheumatism, etc. In India, Ginger is also used for the treatment of inflammatory joint diseases, such as arthritis. Revered around the world for its pungent taste, ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a natural spice that is also widely prized for its medicinal properties. The dried rhizome of ginger contains approximately 1-4% volatile oils. These are the medically active constituents of ginger; they are also responsible for ginger's characteristic odor and taste. The aromatic principles include zingiberene and bisabolene, while the pungent principles are known as gingerols and shogaols. The pungent constituents are credited with the antinausea and antivomiting effects of ginger.

Ginger posesses antiemetic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and cardiotonic properties. Ginger is a cholagogic agent that promotes the flow of bile into the intestine, especially through contraction of the gallbladder. Pharmacologically active components of the oleoresin include gingerols, a class of structurally similar cardioactive compounds, and shogaols. The gingerols produce concentration-dependent inotropic effects through activation of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium adenosine triphosphatase.
