Inflammation is a complex biological response to injury or infection, and its chronic persistence contributes to various degenerative diseases. The present study aims to compare the anti-inflammatory effects of turmeric (Curcuma longa) and ginger (Zingiber officinale) extracts, two widely used medicinal plants known for their therapeutic properties. Both extracts contain bioactive compounds—curcumin in turmeric and gingerol in ginger—that modulate inflammatory pathways by inhibiting key enzymes such as COX and LOX, and suppressing pro-inflammatory mediators like TNF-α and IL-6. Experimental analysis revealed that both extracts significantly reduce inflammation, with turmeric showing slightly higher efficacy due to its broader regulatory effect on gene expression. The comparative evaluation highlights the potential of these herbs as natural alternatives to synthetic anti-inflammatory drugs, supporting their combined or individual use in herbal medicine. This study reinforces traditional knowledge and provides a scientific basis for their therapeutic applications.
