Abstract
Actuality. The rapid growth of morbidity, age-related poly- and comorbidity complicate and increase the cost of the treatment process of such patients, leading to the search for prophylactic and therapeutic agents of multisystem and diverse metabolic action.
Aim of the Research. Coverage of modern scientific advances in the studies of therapeutic and prophylactic properties of ginger as a spice and source of drugs, as well as justification for its wider use under different conditions of the human body.
Materials and Methods. Information search in printed and electronic publications, search databases; methods of analysis, comparison and generalization of data.
Results. The healing properties of ginger have been proven on the basis of historical and modern data. Thus, it posesses hypolipidemic, antisclerous, disaggregating, hypoglycemic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, vasodilating properties, and the ability to regulate secretory and motor disorders of the digestive system. Gastro-, hepato-, cardio-, neuro-, arthroprotective features of ginger products are indisputable, as well as the effectiveness of their application for the diseases of the digestive, cardiovascular, bronchopulmonary systems, musculoskeletal system and prospects for their use for endocrine diseases, in neurology, oncology , immunology.
Conclusions. Ginger as a universal spice and a source of drugs of prophylactic and therapeutic action with multisystem and diverse metabolic properties should be used more widely in patients with age related poly-and comorbidity, which can improve their rehabilitation outcomes and increase economic efficiency.
Key Words: ginger, properties, poly- and comorbidity, application, prophylaxis.
