Abstract: The Ginger is one of the most used medicinal plants in traditional Arabic and Indian medicine for thyroid disorders, with its flavonoids and antioxidant properties potentially playing a role in its therapeutic effects. It contains active ingredients such as gingerol, and shogaol. Hypothyroidism is a prevalent endocrine disorder characterized by insufficient secretion of thyroid hormones, leading to metabolic disturbances, oxidative stress, and inflammation. The ginger has been traditionally used for metabolic disorders and may exhibit thyroid-regulating potential. This study aimed to review and analyze the experimental animal studies and phytochemical investigations on the possible ameliorative effects of ginger in the treatment of hypothyroidism.
