According to preclinical and clinical studies conducted in many countries, the ginger rhizome has a positive effect on the condition and functioning of almost all organs and systems of the body, has anti-inflammatory, expectorant, hypoglycemic, antihypercholesterolemic, antiulcerogenic and hepatoprotective action. It is effective in complex therapy of such socially significant diseases as diabetes and nervous system diseases. At present in Russia the quality of the ginger rhizomes is regulated by standard GOST 29046-91 «Spices. Ginger. Specifications», pharmacopeia monograph for ginger rhizome is developed, it is adapted to meet the modern requirements for quality standards of crude herbal drugs. Conclusion: The rhizome of ginger is a valuable crude herbal drug that is promising for the development of effective and safe domestic drugs.References
