Abstract in brief

  • Ginger has been known for centuries for its anti-inflammatory properties, and scientific studies over the past 25 years support this, showing it can inhibit inflammation-related enzymes like prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
  • Ginger works similarly to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) by blocking cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), but uniquely also inhibits 5-lipoxygenase, potentially offering a better therapeutic profile with fewer side effects.
  • Recent research has shown that ginger extracts can interfere with genes involved in the inflammatory process, opening up possibilities for developing targeted ginger-based treatments for chronic inflammation and improving their effectiveness through standardization.]
