 Sunthi is the dried form of ginger rhizome. Ginger rhizome is a medicinal herb used principally for the treatment of Dyspepsia (indigestion) i.e. distress after eating that includes the symptoms of bloating, heartburn, flatulence, and nausea. It is also measured helpful as a preventative for motion sickness and as a digestive aid. In some conventional systems it is attributed with the ability to treat arthritis, fevers, headaches, and toothaches. It may have the aptitude to lower blood cholesterol and aid in preventing internal blood clots. It is often taken to help fight colds, coughs, and the flu.
Sunthi is a common and appetizing spice conventionally used to perk up digestion and avert nausea. These properties result from helping bowel movements and calming the muscles controlling the digestive system. Sunthi is considered an adjuvant in many Ayurvedic formulas that promotes absorption and averts gastrointestinal side effects.

Research I - Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe): A hot remedy for cardiovascular disease?
By Nicoll R, Henein MY.
Research was conducted at Umea University Hospital, Umea, Sweden. Ginger (Sunthi) is now exciting substantial interest for its possible to treat many aspects of cardiovascular disease. This letter evaluates the more recent trials that suggest that ginger or sunthi shows significant anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-platelet, hypo-tensive and hypo-lipidemic effect in in-vitro and animal studies. Human trials have been few and normally used a low dose with uncertain results; yet dosages of 5 gram or more established important anti-platelet activity. More human trials are needed using a suitable dosage of a standardized extract. Should these prove positive, ginger (Sunthi) has the possible to offer not only a cheaper natural alternative to conservative agents but one with considerably lower side effects.
Research II - Study on technique of inducing micro rhizome in Zingiber officinale (Sunthi, ginger).
By Xue JP, Huang YQ, Zhang AM.
The research was carried out at College of Food and Bioengineering, Zhengzhou University of Light Industry, Zhengzhou, China.
Objective: To study the effect of diverse factors on induction of micro-tubers in Zingiber officinale (Sunthi). These factors included NAA, PP333, 6-BA and sucrose. METHOD: Orthogonal design and plant tissue culture method were used.
Result and Conclusion: Sucrose was the most noteworthy factor on the induction of micro-tubers, followed by PP333 and NAA. 6-BA was the factor which restrained the formation of micro-tubers. The optimal media to induce micro-tubers was MS + NAA 1.0 mg x L (-1) + PP333 0.2 mg x L (-1) + sucrose 8 percent.
Research III – In-vitro and in-vivo modulation of testosterone mediated alterations in apoptosis related proteins by [6] - gingerol.
By Shukla Y, Prasad S, Tripathi C, Singh M, George J, Kalra N.
Research was carried out at Proteomics Laboratory, Industrial Toxicology Research Centre, Mahatma Gandhi Marg, Lucknow, India. Ginger (Zingiber officinale, Zingiberaceae) or sunthi has been extensively used as a dietary spice, and as a customary oriental medicine. The rhizome of ginger or sunthi contains pungent vanillyl ketones, including [6]-gingerol and [6]-paradol, and have been credited with therapeutic and defensive health benefits, including anti-cancer activity. Prostate cancer is an eye-catching target for chemoprevention because of its ubiquity, treatment-related morbidity, long latency between premalignant lesions and clinically evident cancer, and defined molecular pathogenesis. Here we are reporting the modulatory effects of [6]-gingerol on testosterone-induced alterations on apoptosis related proteins in both in vitro, androgen sensitive LNCaP cells and in vivo, ventral prostate of Swiss albino mice. [6]-gingerol treatment resulted apoptosis in LNCaP cells, as indicated by depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential, increase in sub G1 cell population by flow cyto-metry and the appearance of DNA laddering pattern in agarose gel electrophoresis. Results of western blot analysis showed that [6]-gingerol upregulated the testosterone depleted levels of p53 in mouse prostate and up-regulated its downstream regulator Bax and further activated Caspase-9 and Caspase-3 in both LNCaP cells and in mouse prostate. We also found down regulation of testosterone induced anti-apoptotic proteins, Bcl-2 and Survivin expression by [6]-gingerol in both LNCaP cells and in mouse ventral prostate. Thus, [6]-gingerol shows its protective effects in both in vivo and in vitro prostate cancer models by modulation of proteins involved in apoptosis pathway.
