Abstract(s)
A utilização de plantas para fins medicinais, faz parte da evolução humana, como
os primeiros recursos terapêuticos desde os primórdios da civilização para a prevenção,
tratamento ou na cura de doenças. As plantas são elementos que constituem parte da
biodiversidade e torna-se importante conhecer a história do seu uso fitoterápico porque
pouco se sabe sobre a sua confiabilidade e segurança, havendo uma necessidade de
envolver o conhecimento popular e científico para a aplicação destas plantas.
Originário do sudeste da Ásia, o gengibre tem componentes biologicamente ativos
que consistem em gingeróis, zingeronas, shogaóis, paradóis e zerumbona que são
utilizados para diversos fins medicinais. O gengibre (Zingiber officinale) é uma planta
herbácea, da família das Zingiberacea, sendo considerada uma das especiarias mais
importantes e valorizadas, possui uma capacidade anti-inflamatória, antioxidante, anticancerígena e cardioprotetora.
Este trabalho descreve vários estudos relacionados com as principais atividades do extrato do gengibre e dos seus compostos no sistema imunológico, no qual existe um grande interesse na utilização deste tipo de compostos, principalmente do ponto de vista
terapêutico.
