Effect on nausea
Sharma SS, Kochupillai V, Gupta SK, Seth SD, Gupta YK. (1997). Antiemetic efficacy of ginger (Zingiber officinale) against cisplatin-induced emesis in dogs. J Ethnopharmacol, 57(2):93-6.
Summary:
Ginger extracts using three different solvents were compared for their antiemetic
(antinausea) action against induced vomiting in dogs. The extracts were
given by mouth in a variety of doses. All doses of the acetone and ethnolic
extracts were effective protection against vomiting.
The aqueous extract was
ineffective. The researchers suggest that ginger could be an effective and inexpensive
antiemetic used in cancer chemotherapy.
Effect on inflammation
Sharma JN, Srivastava KC, Gan EK (1994). Suppressive effects of eugenol and ginger oil on arthritic rats. Pharmacology, 49(5):314-8.
Summary:
Oral administration of eugenol, a major component of clove oil, and ginger oil
was administered orally to rats following induced severe arthritis in the paw
and knee. The oil was given for 26 days, and caused a significant suppression
of paw and joint swelling. The researchers suggested that eugenol and ginger
oil have antiinflammatory properties.
