A Comprehensive Review of Zingiber Officinale in Homeopathic Literature: From Traditional Use to Modern Clinical Evidence

  • Unique Paper ID: 189805
  • PageNo: 1098-1100
  • Abstract:
  • Ginger, or Zingiber officinale, is a well-known medicinal plant with a long history in traditional medicine (TCM, Ayurveda)1. It is extracted from the dried rhizome and is mostly used in homeopathy as a treatment for functional debility, with a focus on the respiratory, genito-urinary, and gastrointestinal systems2. This thorough analysis integrates contemporary clinical research and Homeopathic Pathogenetic Trials (HPTs) with the traditional homeopathic proving data (Materia Medica). The main symptoms of the cure include burning, turbid urine, suppressed urine, morning-aggravated asthma, and stomach issues from consuming melons or drinking tainted water. Its historical position in the homeopathic pharmacopoeia has been validated by recent research, including HPTs and particular clinical trials, which support its use in treating acute rhinitis, gastritis, and acne vulgaris3.
