Abstract

The efficacy of synthetic drugs in managing disease development and progression has faced challenges amidst shifts in lifestyle and heightened health consciousness. As a result, medicinal plants and seeds, with their constituent compounds, are gaining recognition for their potential in treating various illnesses. Ginger and flaxseed, as long-established herbal remedies, have made notable contributions to culinary and medicinal fields. Their robust flavor and aroma and anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and analgesic properties extend their use beyond culinary spice to medicinal applications. Furthermore, their capacity to preserve food adds to their appeal, making ginger and flaxseed powerful and multi-functional elements in food production and medicinal contexts. This review highlights the therapeutic advantages of ginger and flaxseed in combating different diseases, focusing on their unique characteristics attributable to bioactive components.
