Ginger, the Potent Free radical Scavenging activities

Ginger may have a potential effect in reducing oxidative stress by inhibiting the overexpression of free radicals as scavengers, some studies suggested.

Free radical is an unstable molecule with an unpaired electron in the outer ring of the atom. In order for them to become stable, free radicals are actively donated or steal an electron from the stable molecules.

Once started, the chain of domino's effect cannot be stopped until the outer ring of the electron is paired or inhibited by the antioxidant.

Free radical scavengers are antioxidants that inhibit oxidation.

There are 2 types of antioxidants in the body including the antioxidant enzymes produced by the host and dietary sources of antioxidant intake by the host.

Oxidative stress is the expression of the imbalance of the levels of the free radicals and antioxidants in the body.

In other words, oxidative stress can either be caused by overexpression of free radicals or low levels of antioxidant enzymes.

A prolonged period of oxidative stress can damage the body tissue, alternated the immune function and cells DNA, leading to the etiology of many chronic health problems including cardiovascular and inflammatory disease, and cancer.

There are many causes of overexpression of free radicals, some researchers suggested that fried foods, alcohol, tobacco smoke, pesticides, air pollutants, and many more are contributed to the onset of the condition.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) or ginger root, the second superfood used for thousands of years by mankind, is the genus Zingiber, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to Tamil.

The root has been used in traditional and Chinese medicine to treat dyspepsia, gastroparesis, constipation, edema, difficult urination, colic, etc.

On finding the chemical constituents that constitute the free radical scavenger activity of ginger, a research team at the University of Mysore analyzed the chemical composition and antioxidant activity (in aqueous and solvent extracts) of Ginger root (Zingiber officinale).

During the experiment, application of ethanol, methanol, acetone, 80% methanol, and 80% ethanolic extracts to determine free radical scavenging activity, suggesting that the order of antioxidant activity by reducing power and free radical scavenging activity by DPPH was 80% methanolic > 80%ethanolic > methanolic > ethanolic > 30°C water >100°C water > acetonic extract.

These results suggested that ginger efficacy in the inhibition of the free radicals was not attributed to a single ingredient but all members of the antioxidant family.

In the investigation of the free radical scavenger activity of 4 essential oils of young and mature rhizomes, air-dried and steamed rhizomes, and seed rhizomes of Zingiber officinale Roscoe (ginger), researchers found
* All prepared ginger essential oils, showed a significant free radical scavenger property

* Essential oil from the seed and air-dried rhizomes demonstrated the highest anti-free radical activity compared to others preparation.

* Essential oil from the seed and air-dried rhizomes also are the better free radical scavenger agents, compared to ginger oleoresins obtained by ethanol and hypercritical carbon dioxide extraction and essential oils of 5 other plants in the family Zingiberaceae.

* [6]-shogaol, the bioactive compound isolated from the ginger was most active against filament formation and growth of C. Albicans, followed by citral and [6]-gingerol.

An additional examination also indicated that ginger oleoresin, and especially that obtained by ethanol extraction, with a high [6]-gingerol content exhibited potent scavenging activity against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals in comparison to essential oils of ginger and other Zingiberaceae plants.

In support of the above differentiation, researchers at the North China Coal Medical College, in the report of "[Scavenging effects of ginger on superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical]" wrote,
"Ginger can significantly scavenge O2-. in hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase system and. OH in ultraviolet exposure of H2O2 system". and "The scavenging effects of ginger on O2-. and. OH may contribute to explaining some of the pharmacological mechanisms of this drug".

Taken altogether, ginger with the abundant bioactive compound may be considered a free radical scavenger functional food for preventing overexpression of free radical in the initiation of a chain reaction

Fennel and Its Extracts in Detoxed Body Toxins, According to PubMed Online Literature

Fennel may have a potential and positive effect in excess water and toxin from the body, some scientists suggested.

The result was reported on online medical literature conducted by some respectable institutes, including John Wiley & Sons, Ltd . and UFR Physiologie-Pharmacologie over different aspects via the number of mechanisms.
Diuresis is a medicine in the stimulation of increased production of urine.

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species of genus, belongings to Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), native to the Mediterranean, used in traditional and herbal medicine as warming, carminative, antispasmodic, antidepressant agent and to stimulate the appetite, ease indigestion, soothe coughing, reduce intestinal spasms, to regulate the menstrual cycle and relieve PMS,...

In animal models, according to the John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. in the evaluation of the retoxic effect of ydroalcohol extracts of Foeniculum vulgare var dulce (D.C) root, application of the extract exerted significant activities in flushing out of excess water and toxin from the body through increased kidney function in secretion of the urine.

The result of these properties was observed by an increase in urine flow and urinary sodium excretion.



The efficacy in cleansing body was also found linearly in dose depending manner.


Continuously, in further examine the efficacy of fennel powder, extract, and oil on gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity through a study of a total of 35 adult female Sprague Dawley rats classified into five groups with the first group kept on a standard diet all over the period of the experiment. and the other groups administered gentamicin (100 mg/kg/day for 7 days i.p), followed by either control (+ve) group or treated groups with fennel powder, extract and oil for 45 days, at the end of study, researchers found that
* Injected gentamicin group served as control exhibited strong nephrotoxicity manifested by increase levels of kidney function indicator, serum nitric oxide (NO), and kidney malondialdehyde (MDA) however, this group of rats also exerted a significant decrease in weight gain.


Increased expression of serum nitric oxide (NO) and kidney malondialdehyde (MDA) is an indicator of severed oxidative stress caused by an imbalanced ratio of ROS and antioxidants in the host.


* Gentamicin groups treated with fennel powder, extract and oil demonstrated an improved level of urea and uric acid in comparison to control (+ve) and displayed an improvement of antioxidant enzymes as the increase of serum superoxide dismutase(SOD), catalase, and glutathione transferase (GST) and decrease of serum NO in compared to control (+ve) group.


These results addressed the important antioxidant effect of fennel extracts. Applications not only inhibited the levels of free radical and theirs' chain reactive activities but also stimulated the production of antioxidants found in the host tissue.


* Moreover, the group treated with fennel oil restore the normal values of kidney antioxidant enzymes compared with a normal group and other treatment groups.


Dr. Soheir Ahamed Al-Masri, the lead author, after taking into account other co and confounders said, "fennel powder, extract, and oil have a potent antioxidant and ameliorate in rats gentamicin induced nephrotoxicity in rats".


Clearly, fennel oil exhibited the greatest effect in stimulated kidney function in detox the body toxins through increased secretion of urine in comparison to another experimental group.


The results of this study clearly indicate that fennel powder, extract and oil have a potent antioxidant and ameliorate in rats gentamicin induced nephrotoxicity in rats. [Soheir Ahamed Al-Masri and Waffa, Sh. Ali. The Ameliorating

Interestingly, in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) treated with either water extract of Marrubium vulgare L. or Foeniculum vulgare L. in normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY), researchers showed that application of fennel water extract reduced hypertension through Foeniculum increased water, sodium and potassium excretion in compared to non effect of Marrubium treated group.

Additionally,  compared to Marrubium extract in reduced hypertension through inhibited contractile responses, fennel restored the normal; blood pressure by increased urine secretion and ameliorated the overexpression of ROS and increased antioxidant status in the host.

Surely, one can say that Foeniculum acts mainly as a diuretic and a natriuretic while Marrubium displays vascular relaxant activity.


Taken together, fennel and its extracts may be considered as a detox functional food in getting rid of body toxins through its diuretic activities.

Ginger, Relieves Pain and Reduced Disability of Patients with Osteoarthritis

Ginger may have a potential and positive effect in ameliorating the symptoms of pain and complication of reduced quality of life in patients with osteoarthritis, some scientists suggested.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic condition of a type of joint disease characterized by the breaking down of joint cartilage and underlying bone due to the “wear and tear” of joints over time.


Some researchers suggested that OA is a degenerative disease characterized by “low-grade inflammation” in the cartilage and synovium, affecting the joint structure and progressive deterioration of cartilage.

According to the statistic from the NIH, osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disorder in the US. Among adults, 60 years of age or older the prevalence of symptomatic knee and sadly OA affects approximately 10% in men and 13% in women.

Epidemiological strongly suggested that obese and overweight which have a strong impact on the weight-bearing joints, the genetic preposition of a patient can make such patient more susceptible to the disease compared to others do not, people with a joint injury that did heal properly at the younger age and people with occupations that require standing for long periods of time, repetitive bending, heavy lifting or other movements and the increase in age are associated to the increased risk of the onset of the disease.

The most common symptoms of osteoarthritis are joint pain and stiffness.

Dr. Giuseppe Musumeci, the lead author in the study "Osteoarthritis in the XXIst Century: Risk Factors and Behaviours that Influence Disease Onset and Progression" suggested that besides the risk factors mentioned above, dietary factors also play an important role in the onset of the disease.

In the dietary aspect in the induction of OA, the research team wrote, "This diet (The Western diet) is mainly constituted by preservative and harmful substances, such as animal fat and glucose excessive concentration and lack of nutritional factors, such as vitamins and nutrient minerals essential for our body. Moreover, the bad dietary habits may predispose people to obesity, which is responsible for both metabolic destroying processes affecting the cartilage and overload of the joints, especially hips and knees".

And, " quantity and quality of nutrient intake. Low intake of vitamin D and vitamin C is a possible risk factor for knee OA, while certain food groups, such as milk and dairy products, meat and poultry are beneficial for knee OA. Thus we could affirm that nutritional imbalance, combined with endocrine abnormalities, may be involved in the pathogenesis of OA".

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) or ginger root, the second superfood used for thousands of years by mankind, is the genus Zingiber, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to Tamil.

The root has been used in traditional and Chinese medicine to treat dyspepsia, gastroparesis, constipation, edema, difficult urination, colic, etc.

With an aim to reaffirm the traditional use of ginger for the treatment of osteoarthritis, a joint review led by the Copenhagen University Hospital, Bispebjerg, and Frederiksberg were conducted to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of oral ginger for the symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis (OA).

The study was carried out by searching the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing oral ginger treatment with placebo in OA patients aged >18 years satisfied the predetermined guidelines and criteria, including the outcomes of the reduction in pain and disability.

Out of 122 retrieved references, 117 were discarded, only 5 five trials (593 patients) were selected for meta-analyses.

All 5 remained studies suggested that ginger intake scored a statistically significant pain reduction.


Furthermore, application of ginger in subjects with osteoarthritis demonstrates a statistically significant reduction in disability compared to control.


However, according to the returned questionnaires from the participants, researchers surprisingly found that patients given ginger are more than twice as likely to discontinue treatment compared to placebo.

Dr. Mozaffari-Khosravi H, the lead author, launched a joint study to determine the ginger powder effects in relieving pain and inflammation in patients with osteoarthritis.

120 participants selected for the randomized double-blind placebo-controlled 3-month clinical trial for knee osteoarthritis were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the ginger group (GG) or the placebo group (PG).

Ginger selected group was given capsules containing 500 mg of ginger powder, while the PG group was given capsules filled with 500 mg starch.

At the baseline, proinflammatory cytokine concentrations did not differ by group, observed by the participant's blood sample.

After 3 months, GG showed a significant reduction of cytokines compared to the PG.

In the final report, the research team wrote, "ginger supplementation may have promising benefits for knee osteoarthritis".

These results reconfirming the use of ginger for the treatment of osteoarthritis in traditional medicine with no side effects

Fennel, A Potent Chemo-Preventive and Modulatory Functional Herb

Fennel may have a potential and positive effect in modulated the effect of chemo drugs through its chemomodulatory activity, some scientists suggested.

The expression of fennel application in enhanced chemopreventive response was evident in animal models from the reduced tumor burden in reduced cancer cells proliferation and apoptosis and reduced percentage of tumor through some different publications.

The results were reported by several respectable institute including Jawaharlal Nehru University and published on online medical literature.

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species of the genus, belongings to Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), native to the Mediterranean, used in traditional and herbal medicine as warming, carminative, antispasmodic, antidepressant agent and to stimulate the appetite, ease indigestion, soothe coughing, reduce intestinal spasms, to regulate the menstrual cycle and relieve PMS,...

According to the Jawaharlal Nehru University, in evaluating the chemopreventive effect of different doses of test diet of Foeniculum vulgare Mill (Fennel) seeds on DMBA-induced skin and B(a)P-induced forestomach papilloma genesis in Swiss albino mice, application of fennel seeds displayed a significant reduction in the skin and the forestomach tumor incidence and tumor multiplicity as compared to the control group.

Biochemical assays showed a significant increase in the content/activities of phase I and II enzymes especially in the case of a 6% test diet, in detoxifying poisonous compounds caused by the injection of DMBA, through significant enhancement of antioxidant activities.

Further examination also found that injection of fennel seed stimulated production of antioxidant enzyme in the body tissue in repaired damage precipitated by peroxidation through lactate dehydrogenase activity.

Dr. Singh B, the lead author said, "A significant enhancement in the activities of antioxidant enzymes were observed especially at 4% and 6%" and "glyoxalase I(with function as an enzymatic defense against glycation) activity and the content of reduced glutathione (antioxidant) were significantly elevated".


Additionally, in the examine the effect of fennel bioactive compound anethole in chemo modulatory activity against the onset and spread of cancer, researchers found that application of fennel oil by inhibited the activated expression of NF-kappa B, a gene-altering and inflammation in triggering molecule in the development of various solid tumors through stimulated cancer proliferation.



Also, anethole injection reduced levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, TNFα, cachexin, or cachectin), a cell-signaling protein (cytokine) involved in systemic inflammation and one of the cytokines that make up the acute phase reaction. However, at a certain stage of cancer, gene expression in promoted cancer apoptosis is alternated, TNF changes from a cancer killer to a cancer promoter.

Additionally, with abundant fiber, fennel demonstrated a strong effect in the removal of toxins from the colon and therefore may be helpful in colon cancer prevention.

Dr. After taking into account other co and confounders said, " Fennel contains flavonoid anti-oxidants compounds like kaempferol and quercetin which helps eliminate harmful free radicals from the body....".


In other words, fennel exerted chemo modulatory activity also through its flavonoid anti-oxidants compounds like kaempferol and quercetin in inhibited overexpression of free radicals and free radical chain reactive in protected against cytotoxicity in induction cells damage and alternated cell DNA in the facilitated onset of cancer.


Taking all together, fennel and its bioactive compound may be considered as a chemopreventive and modulatory functional food for reduced risk and treatment of various types of cancers.

Herbal Turmeric Protects the Kidneys Against Drugs, Heavy Metals and Substances Toxicity

The kidneys are a pair of kidney shape organs located on either side of your spine with a function to filter out the wastes from the blood before passing the wastes through urinary secretion.

More than a detoxed organ, the kidneys also maintain the body fluid balance, regulate the production of red blood cells and high blood pressure.

Kidney damage can be acute such as an overdose of toxin or chronic. Acute kidney diseases can be cured if the underlying cause is found.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a slow and progressive disease that can lead to kidney failure over time.

The advance of CKD can cause dangerous levels of fluid, electrolytes, and waste build-up in the body.

According to statistics, approximately 14 percent of the US general population suffers from CKD. Believe it or not, more than 661,000 Americans have kidney failure. Of these, 468,000 individuals are on dialysis, and roughly 193,000 live with a functioning kidney transplant.


Out of many risk factors associated with CKD, some researchers suggested high blood pressure is one most prevalent risk factors found in most patients.

The Natural Kidney Foundation wrote, "More than half the people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have high blood pressure. High blood pressure increases the chance that kidney disease will get worse"

And "Following your treatment plan carefully and keeping your blood pressure under control can help to prevent these complications".

Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.


The herb has been used in traditional medicine as an anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
On finding a potential compound with the kidney protective property, researchers investigated curcumin, a major phenolic compound the rhizome of the Curcuma species anti kidney toxicity.

In glucose, tartrazine, induced toxicity, curcumin protected the kidney against DNA damage in leucocytes.

In a streptozotocin-induced diabetes rat model, curcumin protected the kidney against overexpression of free radical to cause kidney cell damage through its antioxidant activity.

In the long-term heavy metal model, curcumin inhibited the toxic effect caused by the accumulation of the metal in the induction of kidney cell damage.


In an animal model induced cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury by injection cisplatin, curcumin enhanced the function of cisplatin-resistant cancer cells and decrease its unwanted side effects.

More interestingly, curcumin inhibited the nicotine receptors on kidney cells that link nicotine to accelerated kidney damage in cigarette smokers

In other words. if the kidneys are less able to excrete nicotine, in long term, accumulated extracellular fluid and blood volumes increase, which can lead to severe kidney damage.

In other studies, kidney damage caused maleate, malathion, nicotine, cisplatin, gentamicin, and methotrexate also reversed by the injection of curcumin, similar to those of the aforementioned substances.

Taken altogether, turmeric and its bioactive compound curcumin may be considered remedies for the prevention and treatment of kidney damage, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of turmeric in the form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Chaste Tree Berry, the Best MALE Osteoprotective Natural Medicine

Chaste tree berry is found to processability in reduced of MALE osteopenia turnover, the early sign of osteoporosis, a renowned institution study reported.

Chaste tree berry is a species of Vitex agnus-castus, genus Vitex, belonging to the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region, used in herbal medicine for thousands of year as anaphrodisiac herb and considered as Queen herb in treating menstrual problems and discomforts.

Osteoporosis is a condition of thinning of bone and bone tissues as a result of the loss of bone density over a long period of times.

In a total of 60, 3-month-old male rats orchidectomized and divided into five groups with each group either received soy-free food (C), estradiol (E), testosterone (T) or Vitex agnus castus in different concentrations (AC high/AC low) for 12 weeks, rats treated with Vitex agnus castus at highest dose displayed a recover of 88.4% of trabecular bone area, 80.7% of trabecular number and 66.9% of the number of trabecular nodes compared with other administrations.
The study also found out that Vitex agnus castus is more protective in treating osteoprorsis in male population in compared female counter part.


Dr. Sehmisch S, the lead author said, " Vitex agnus castus demonstrated osteoprotective effects in males. It preserves the cortical as well as the trabecular bone and might be a safe alternative for HRT".

Further more, In the study to compare group of animals (n = 8) treated subcutaneously (s.c.) with 60 mg/kg of Vac essential oil once a day for 3 weeks and control animals (n = 8) received sterile olive oil s.c. by the same schedule, Vitex agnus-castus L. (Vac) essential oil treated group also exerted a significant bone metabolism in 16-month-old male Wistar rats.

The osteoporosis protection can be observed through the lower of Serum osteocalcin (OC) and calcium (Ca2+) in Vitex agnus-castus L. (Vac) essential oil and decreased of bone turnover treated group in compared control in middle-aged male rats..

Taking together, Chaste tree berry showed a strong support in reduced early onset of osteoporosis of male gander through improved bone metabolism and calcium status, but further large size and multi centers studies are necessary to validate this potency.

Herbal Chaste Tree Berry The Best Antioxidant for Prevention and Treatment of Aging Chronic Diseases

Chaste tree berry may process a strong effect in reduced risk of free radical progression in inducing various diseases, the renowned institute suggested.

Chaste tree berry is a species of Vitex agnus-castus, genus Vitex, belonging to the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region, used in herbal medicine for thousands of year as anaphrodisiac herb and considered as Queen herb in treating menstrual problems and discomforts.

Antioxidants are chemical compound with function in inhibited oxidation caused by production of free radicals with an aim to reduce risk of oxidative damage to our body.

According to the Faculty of Pharmacy, Ege University, in the observation of the chemical activity of different preparations of Chaste tree berry, researchers showed that water and ethanol extract content are far stronger antioxidant activity in compared n-hexane extracts.

In vitro antioxidant assays, the newly differentiated ingredients isolated from the Chaste tree berry, EtOAc extract displayed a significant antioxidant property in reduced free radicals caused by brain homogenate. at the concentration-dependent effect tested by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrasyl (DPPH) free radical assay (IC(50) = 68 microg/mL) in compared fractions of MeOH-H(2)O and n-hexane fraction.

The study also suggested that the efficacy of antioxidant effect in the extract may have resulted from the recently discovered phytochemicals, flavonoid constituents EtOAc extract, casticin, vitexin, and orientin as viewed in the tested essay.

More importantly, in support of the above differentiation, a study of mice subcutaneously injected with d-galactose (500 mg/kg/d for 45 days) induced aging and natural aging. administrated extract of Vitex (600 mg/kg/bid for 7 days by gavage) to 72 female NMRI mice (48 3-month-old normal mice and 24 18-24-month-old mice), weighing 30-35 g randomly divided into six groups: control, Vitex, d-galactose, Vitex + d-galactose, Aging, and Vitex + Aging, groups treated with chaste tree berry expressed a superior effect in restored estrous cycle and damage of uterus and ovarian tissues, through antioxidant activities in ameliorated oxidative stress and aging diseases.

Truly, mice treated with extract of Chaste tree berry only showed a reduced presence of free radicals but also improved hormone expression in natural and d-galactose induced aging.

Taking together, there is no doubt that Chaste tree berry displayed a significant antioxidant potential in ameliorated risk of free radical in induced chronic diseases, but a large amount of intake should be taken with care.
