Description of Ginger(Zingiber officinale).:
Zingiber is a creeping perennial plant native to tropical south-east Asia and cultivated in the West Indies, Africa and India. The aromatic, knotty rootstock is thick and fibrous, and whitish or buff in colour. It produces a simple, leafy stem covered with the leaf sheaths of the lanceolate-oblong to linear leaves, and reaches a height of 1.25m. The leaves areup to30cm long and the sterile flowers are white with purple streaks and grow in small dense spikes.
Key Constituents of Ginger(Zingiber officinale):
Volatile oils (bisabolene, cineol, phellandrene, citral, borneol, citronellol, geranial, linalool, limonene, zingiberol, zingiberene, camphene), Oleoresin (gingerol, shogaol), Phenol (gingeol, zingerone), Proteolytic enzyme (zingibain), Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Linoleic acid,gum, starch, lignin, vegeto matter, asmazone, acetic acid, acetate of potassa, sulphur.
The pungency of ginger is due to GINGEROL which is the alcohol group of the oleoresin (when resins are associated with volatile oils, they are called OLEORESINS). Ginger owes its aroma to about 1 to 3% of volatile oils, which are bisabolene, zingiberene and zingiberol.
Primary Nutrients: Calcium, Iron, Magnesium Phosphorus, Potassium, Protein, Sodium, Vitamins A, B-complex and C

Origin and Narrative History of of Ginger(Zingiber officinale):
Narrative history of "Ginger":
The word ginger comes from the ancient Sanskrit singabera, meaning 'shaped like a horn'. It first appeared in the writings of Confucius in the 5th century BC. and it has been used medicinally in the West for at least 2000 years. It was introduced by the Spaniards to the Americas and is now cultivated extensively in the West Indies. The Portuguese introduced it to West Africa. It was traditionally used to warm the stomach and dispel chills. In the 18th century it was added to remedies to modify their action and to reduce their irritant effects upon the stomach. Ginger is still used in this way in China to reduce the toxicity of some herbs. The Chinese prescribe ginger tea for delayed menstruation. It is rich in vitamin C, and Chinese mariners ate it fresh to ward off scurvy.
Ginger Origin:
The dried rhizome of Zingiber officinale Rosc., a perennial plant, of the family Zingiberaceae. Probably native to southeastern Asia, its aromatic, pungent rhizome (underground stem) is used as a spice, flavouring, food, and medicine. Its generic name Zingiber is derived from the Greek zingiberis, which comes from the Sanskrit name of the spice, singabera.
Its use in India and China has been known from ancient times, and by the 1st century AD traders had taken ginger into the Mediterranean region. By the 11th century it was well known in England. The Spaniards brought it to the West Indies and Mexico soon after the conquest, and by 1547 ginger was being exported from Santiago to Spain.
The spice has a slightly biting taste and is used, usually dried and ground, to flavour breads, sauces, curry dishes, confections, pickles, and ginger ale. The fresh rhizome, green ginger, is used in cooking. The peeled rhizomes may be preserved by boiling in syrup. In Japan and elsewhere, slices of ginger are eaten between dishes or courses to clear the palate. Ginger is used medically to treat flatulence and colic.
The leafy stems of ginger grow about a metre high. The leaves are 15 to 30 centimetres long, elongate, alternate in two vertical rows, and arise from sheaths enwrapping the stem. The flowers are in dense, conelike spikes about 2 cm thick and 4 to 6 cm long, composed of overlapping green bracts, which may be edged with yellow. Each bract encloses a single, small, yellow-green and purple flower.
Ginger is propagated by planting rootstalk cuttings and has been under this type of cultivation for so long that it no longer goes to seed. The dried ginger rhizomes are irregular in shape, branched or palmate. Their colour varies from dark yellow through light brown to pale buff. Ginger may be unscraped (with all of its cork layer); partly scraped; or scraped or peeled (with all of its cork, epidermis, and hypodermis removed).
In China, ginger is cultivated and mainly produced in the provinces Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hubei, Guizhou, Fujian, etc. Harvested in winter by lifting the rhizomes from the soil, then is cleaned, sliced and dried in the sun or baked at low heat until dry for use when raw.

Stimulant, carminative, given in dyspepsia and flatulent colic excellent to add to bitter infusions; specially valuable in alcoholic gastritis; of use for diarrhoea from relaxed bowel where there is no inflammation.

Magnesium, calcium and phosphorus function together in bone formation, muscle contraction, and nerve transmission. The high content of these minerals in ginger makes it a useful candidate for muscle spasms, depression, hypertension, muscle weakness, convulsions, confusion, personality changes, nausea, lack of coordination and gastrointestinal disorders.
The high content of potassium in ginger will protects the body against bone fragility, paralysis, sterility, muscle weakness, mental apathy and confusion, kidney damage, and damage to the heart. In addition to potassium's role in blood pressure regulation, it also regulates heartbeat.
Ginger has a high content of antioxidants. This makes it a free radical scavenger. This means, it has antimutagenic and anti-inflammatory properties.
The alcohol extract of ginger can directly stimulate the heart and the motor centre of the blood vessels. Dried ginger can arrest vomiting, tranquilize the patient, kill pain, dispel wind, strengthen the stomach and arrest coughing.

Applications of Ginger:
1. To treat cold pain in the abdomen, cold-type vomiting and cold diarrhea:
a) Vomiting due to stomach-cold and cold pain in the abdomen: This herb is always used in combination with lesser galangal (Rhizoma Alpiniae Officinarum), e.g., Er Jiang Wan.
b) Cold pain in the abdomen, vomiting and diarrhea due to deficiency of the spleen and stomach with stagnation of cold:
This herb is mostly used with dangshen (Radix Codonopsis Pilosulae), largehead atractylodes rhizome (Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae), etc., e.g., Lizhong Wan.
2. To treat yang depletion syndromes, such as cold of the limbs due to yang depletion and barely palpable pulse due to yang deficiency of the heart and kidneys and excessive yin-cold in the interior:
This herb is always used in mutual enforcement with monkshood root (Radix Aconiti Praeparata), e.g., Sini Tang.
3. To treat asthma and coughing due to fluid retention of cold type, cold body and back and copious watery phlegm:
This herb is often used together with wild ginger (Herba Asari), Chinese magnoliavine fruit (Fructus Schisandrae), ephedra, etc., e.g., Xiao Qinglong Tang.

More reference materials and state of Ginger application:
'Shen Nong's Herbal Classic': "To treat tightness in the chest, coughing or dyspnea caused by abnormal rising of lung-qi, diarrhea and dysentery by warming the spleen and stomach, arresting bleeding, inducing diaphoresis and relieving arthralgia due to wind-dampness. The raw herb is especially good."
'The Compendium of Materia Medica': "The dried ginger ... has four functions: Firstly, it activates heart-yang; secondly, it removes deep and stubborn cold from the zang-organs and fu-organs; thirdly, it emits cold-qi from the channels; fourthly, it treats abdominal pain due to affection by cold."
'Realistic Approach to Herbs': "Being very hot and non-toxic, the potency of the dried ginger will remains at a fixed position without any movement and this herb will give immediate effects for recovering depleted yang if used together with monkshood root (Radix Aconiti Praeparata) in the treatment of deficiency-cold in the stomach and the threatened exhaustion of primordial yang. Therefore, in the medical books there is a sentence saying that monkshood root will not be hot without any ginger."

Additional Research of Ginger:
In a study, acetone extract of ginger at 100 mg/kg p.o. significantly inhibited serotonin (5-HT) induced hypothermia. The active responsible was found to be shogoal. Shogoal, [6]-dehydrogingerdione, [8]- and [10]-gingerol were also found to have an anticathartic action (Huang Q, et al. (1990).
The pungent constituents of ginger release substance P from sensory fibres. The released substance P in turn either stimulates cholinergic and histaminic neurons to release Ach and histamine, respectively, or produces direct muscle contraction by activating M and H1 receptors correspondingly. It is proposed that after being excited by substance P, M and H1 receptors are inactive temporarily and unable to be excited by agonists, therefore, ginger juice exhibits anticholinergic and antihistaminic action. Ginger juice produces antimotion sickness action possibly by central and peripheral anticholinergic and antihistaminic effects.
