Ginger is the common name for the monocotyledonous perennial plant Zingiber officinale. Ginger is also the term used to describe the edible part of the plant that is commonly used as a spice in cooking throughout the world. Often erroneously referred to as "ginger root", it is actually the horizontal subterranean stem or rhizome of the plant. Originating in southern China, ginger as a plant had a history of cultivation known to have spread to India, Southeast Asia, West Africa and the Caribbean.
In the West, powdered dried ginger root is made into capsules and sold in pharmacies for medicinal use.
·         In the United States, ginger is generally recognized as safe by the Food and Drug Administration, though it is not approved for the treatment or cure of any disease and is sold as an unregulated dietary supplement
·         In India, ginger is applied as a paste to the temples to relieve headache and consumed when suffering from a cold
·         In Myanmar, ginger and a local sweet (Htan nyat) made from palm tree juice are boiled together and taken to prevent the flu
·         In China, a drink made with sliced ginger cooked in sweetened water or a cola is used as a folk medicine for common cold.
·         In Indonesia, a type of ginger known as Temulawak is used as a herbal preparation for weight loss, detoxification, reducing "winds" in blood streams and controlling poor dietary habits
·         In the Congo, ginger is crushed and mixed with mango-tree sap to make Tangawisi juice, which is considered as a "universal" panacea.
·         In Ivory Coast, ginger is ground and mixed with orange, pineapple and lemon to produce a very refreshing juice called Nyamanku.
