The interaction between chemical extracted compounds from plants and the human body go through the same identical process to those well understood for the chemical compounds in conventional drugs. Similarly, the herbal medicine may cause the same potential to cause a side effect [1]. Zingiber zerumbet (lempoyang), Boesenbergia rotunda (temu kunci), Zingiber officinale var. rubrum (halia bara) and Zingiber officinale roscoe are belonging to Zingiberaceae or Ginger family consisting of aromatic perennial herbs with creeping horizontal or tuberous rhizomes planted locally. The same species can be found throughout tropical Africa, Asia, and the America. These rhizomes are a common edible ingredient in many countries, in South East Asia and serve as culinary herbs due to their aromatic flavor to promote appetite.
