"Ginger" (Zingiber officinale) is an aromatic rhizome known for its pungent flavor and bioactive compounds, including gingerols and shogaols. These constituents interact with metabolic pathways that regulate digestion, circulatory adaptation, and inflammatory responses. Ginger also engages in enzymatic functions that influence gut motility, nausea modulation, and oxidative stability. Additionally, it participates in biochemical processes linked to microbial interactions and vascular tone. With its broad physiological effects, this root remains fundamental to herbal applications, functional nutrition, and traditional wellness practices.
