Gingembre cône-de-pin

Zingiber zerumbet · Bitter ginger

Zingiber zerumbet, commonly known as ginger lily or umbrella palm, is a plant native to Southeast Asia and widely cultivated in tropical regions. Traditionally, its use has not been extensively documented; however, it has been employed in some folk remedies for various ailments. Scientific evidence suggests potential benefits such as anti-inflammatory effects through modulation of MAPK/NF-κB, Akt, and STAT pathways, which may be useful in managing atopic dermatitis symptoms. Additionally, the plant shows promise in antifibrotic activity by regulating TGF-β1 and TNF/NF-κB signaling, potentially beneficial for pulmonary fibrosis. Zerumbone, a compound from this plant, also exhibits cytotoxic effects on human melanoma cells both in vitro and in vivo. The complete plastome of Zingiber ottensii has been characterized, confirming its close phylogenetic relationship to Zingiber zerumbet, but no specific safety concerns or known drug interactions have been reported for the plant itself.
