Specialized info:
The most important effective components of the Ginger rhizoma are as follows:
- Volatile oils (1-4%) which the most important ones are: Zingiberene, Curcumene, Beta-bisabolene and Geranial.
- Aryl alkanes such as Gingerol and Shogaol
Most of the studies have focused on Gingerol and Shogaol and it’s indicated that these two compounds decrease the gathering of prostaglandines (particularly PGE2) and leukotrienes by inhibiting cyclooxygenase2 and lipoxygenase, therefore they result in anti-inflammatory effects.
The NSAIDs used for decreasing inflammation and relieving inflammatory pains, inhibit the both enzymes cyclooxygenases 1 and 2. Considering that cyclooxygenase1 always exists in all the tissues, and cyclooxygenase2 is created during inflammation, so inhibiting both of the enzymes causes some side effects which are seen after using NSAIDs. Therefore, the selective inhibitor cyclooxygenase2 is a suitable choice with anti-inflammatory pain effects. According to a study published in NIH, the main components extracted from the Ginger rhizoma such as Gingerol and Shogaol, show a good anti-inflammation effect at the point of pain by the selective inhibition of cyclooxygenase2, without creating the side effects caused by the nonselective inhibition of cyclooxygenase1.
When using topically, the Ginger compounds (such as Gingerol and Shogaol) have a good skin penetration because of their suitable molecular weight and size ( less than 300 daltons) and medium solubility in water and oil. In Bisalen shampoo, due to the good and qualified formulation the Ginger compounds are well absorbed by the skin, therefore the anti-inflammatory pain effects reveal a short time after washing. Some other ingredients extracted from Ginger rhizoma also help its anti-inflammatory pain effects by different mechanisms.
In addition to the items mentioned above, the effective components of Ginger improve blood circulation in the scalp, stimulate the growth of hair follicles therefore prevent hair loss and increase hair growth, and remove dandruff by anti-scaling effects.
- In addition to the main components extracted from Ginger rhizoma, the effective components of German Chamomile with the scientific name »Matricaria recutita« and the common name » German Chamomile «are used in this formulation for decreasing dermal sensitivity.
