This mini-review summarizes some experimental and clinical data about safety of ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) treatment during pregnancy. Ginger is used in many cultures in the management of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. There is some evidence from animal and human studies that Ginger is not teratogenic. However, the mutagenicity of ginger extracts is a controversial subject, because they contain mutagenic and anti-mutagenic compounds. Experimental studies in mice and fish revealed immunostimulatory and anti-inflammatory properties of ginger.
