Ginger, or Zingiber Officinale, is one of the most predominant spices of the world, dating back centuries even in North America as a seasoning and medicinal herb. Before that, it had been used as a medicine for a millennium in Europe, and later as a seasoning. It was also imported into ancient Rome as a medicinal ingredient. Naturally, it has been used a seasoning and medicine in Asia for thousands of years, where it is native to.
It is arguably the most recognizable remedy for colds and general sickness, with the esteemed ginger-lemon combination found across the world. It is common in teas, lozenges, and chews or candies.
It’s main active compounds are Gingerol and Shogaol, although many other phytocompounds are present in ginger.
