Herbal medicines formulated as oils were believed to possess more powerful effects than their original plants in Iranian Traditional Medicine (ITM). One of the popular oils suggested for treatment of various indications was ginger oil. In the present study, to suggest a more convenient method of oil preparation (compared to the traditional method), ginger oil has been prepared according to both the traditional and conventional maceration methods and the volatile oil constituents have been compared.
Ginger oil was obtained in sesame oil according to both the traditional way and the conventional (maceration) methods. The volatile oil of dried ginger and both oils were obtained by hydro-distillation and analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy.
Fifty five, fifty nine and fifty one components consisting 94 %, 94 % and 98 % of the total compounds were identified in the volatile oil of ginger, traditional and conventional oils, respectively.
The most dominant compounds of the traditional and conventional oils were almost similar; however they were different from ginger essential oil which has also been to possess limited amounts of anti-inflammatory components. It was concluded that ginger oil could be prepared through maceration method and used for indications mentioned in ITM.
在伊朗传统医学（ITM）中，制成油剂的草药被认为比其原生植物具有更强的功效。姜油是被建议用于治疗各种病症的常用油剂之一。在本研究中，为了提出一种比传统方法更简便的油剂制备方法，已按照传统浸渍法和常规浸渍法制备了姜油，并对挥发油成分进行了比较。
按照传统方法和常规（浸渍）方法在芝麻油中获取姜油。干姜挥发油以及两种油剂均通过水蒸馏法获得，并通过气相色谱/质谱法进行分析。
在姜挥发油、传统油剂和常规油剂中分别鉴定出55种、59种和51种成分，分别占总化合物的94%、94%和98%。
传统油剂和常规油剂中最主要的化合物几乎相似；然而，它们与姜精油不同，姜精油中抗炎成分的含量也有限。得出的结论是，姜油可以通过浸渍法制备，并用于ITM中提及的适应症。
