Medicinal and aromatic plants are known to have a number of biologically active compounds. Since ancient times, such plants have been used in ethnopharmacology. A number of medicines have been developed from plant origin by researchers and researchers continue to be interested in plant-based medicines. Zingiberaceae is a well-known plant family for such types of medicinal and aromatic plants. Zingiber is the third largest genus of this family and Zingiber roseum (Roxb.) Roscoe is a medicinal and aromatic Z. roseum is a rhizomatous perennial herbaceous plant of this genus, popularly known as "Rosy Ginger" and "Jangli Adrak," utilized in the Siddha arrangement of medication, and its rhizomes have been used to treat injury, cough, asthma, skin illnesses, gastric ulcers, liver diseases, and heartburn in tradition. It also has ethnopharmacological uses, such as the rhizome of Z. roseum is used for digestion, relieving giddiness, and as a stimulant. Apart from this, it has been reported for several pharmacological activities such as antispasmodic, hepatoprotective, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities, etc. Z. roseum is a reservoir of several chemical constituents such as terpenes and terpenoids such as linalool, α-pinene, β-pinene, limonene, terpinen-4-ol, α- terpineol, etc., phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, and ascorbic acid along with important unique constituents such as zerumbone which are responsible for its medicinal and other biological activities. In this review article, we discussed the thorough knowledge published by researchers regarding the phytochemistry, ethnopharmacological, and mediational properties of Z. roseum and its botanical descriptions.
药用和芳香植物已知含有许多具有生物活性的化合物。自古以来，这些植物就一直被应用于民族药理学。许多药物都是由植物来源的研究人员开发的，研究人员继续对植物药感兴趣。姜科是这类药用和芳香植物的著名植物科。姜黄属是该科的第三大属，姜黄（Roxb.）罗斯科是一种药用和芳香的植物。姜黄是该属的一种根茎多年生草本植物，俗称“玫瑰姜”和“野生姜”，在顺势疗法药物中被利用，其根茎被用于传统治疗损伤、咳嗽、哮喘、皮肤病、胃溃疡、肝病和胃灼热。它也有民族药理学用途，如姜黄根茎用于消化、缓解头晕和作为兴奋剂。除此之外，它还被报道具有几种药理学活性，如抗痉挛、保肝、抗菌和抗癌等活性。姜黄是多种化学成分的储存库，如萜类和萜烯类化合物，如芳樟醇、α-蒎烯、β-蒎烯、柠檬烯、萜品-4-醇、α-松油醇等，酚类、类黄酮、生物碱、皂苷和抗坏血酸，以及其药用和其他生物活性的重要独特成分，如姜烯酮。在这篇综述文章中，我们讨论了研究人员关于姜黄的植物化学、民族药理学和介导特性及其植物学描述的全面知识。
