Mechanism

Ginger posesses antiemetic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and cardiotonic properties. Ginger is a cholagogic agent that promotes the flow of bile into the intestine, especially through contraction of the gallbladder. Pharmacologically active components of the oleoresin include gingerols, a class of structurally similar cardioactive compounds, and shogaols. The gingerols produce concentration-dependent inotropic effects through activation of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium adenosine triphosphatase.

Safety

·                                 Some people report heartburn after taking ginger.
