**Abstract**

Ginger (*Zingiber officinale* Rosc.), a member of the Zingiberaceae family, is a medicinal herb utilized for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities. Ginger's influence on health was discovered due to its high phytochemical content, which includes compounds that eliminate free radicals created by biological systems. Gingerol, shogaol, and other related ginger chemicals limit the body's production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. They can also suppress the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1, TNF-, NF-B, and IL-8. According to our knowledge, NF-B activation is associated with a number of inflammatory disorders, including cancer, kidney injury, and Alzheimer's disease.
