Ginger and Asthma: Natural Bronchodilator and Anti-Allergic

Asthma and allergic rhinitis affect more than 20% of Europeans. The ginger exhibits bronchodilator, antihistamine and anti-inflammatory properties of the respiratory tract documented in vitro and in vivo.

Ginger and bronchodilation

A study (American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology, 2013) shows that 6-gingerol and 8-gingerol relax bronchial smooth muscles via inhibition of phosphodiesterase (PDE) — a mechanism similar to theophylline, a classic bronchodilator. The effect is dose-dependent and synergistic with beta-2 agonists.

Ginger and Allergic Response

Ginger compounds inhibit mast cell degranulation — the release ofhistamine which triggers allergic reactions. They also block the production of leukotrienes, mediators ofanti-inflammatory-inflammation-natural-remedy">allergic inflammation (targets of antileukotrienes such as montelukast).
