Alpinias are very showy and fragrant flowers, which are botanically an inflorescence forming a gigantic wittiness of flowers. The aplinia genus contains a number of lovely ornamental plants that you ve probably seen in high-end flower arrangements.

They flower with upright cones of unexceptionable red or pink flowers on large stalks, and their leaves are commonly fragrant when crushed. Alpinia plant does not produce flowers for the first 3 years, but when they grow, they show huge football sized flowers, visculent all year around.

Some of the studies found out various medicinal properties like antibacterial, anti-cancer and many increasingly illustrated below.

• Flavonoids: Study evaluated a hydroalcoholic pericope of A. purpurata obtained from zestless leaves. The flavonoids kaemferol-3-O-glucoronide and rutin were detected at higher concentration in the EA and butanolic extracts, with the latter showing highest flavonoid percentage.
  • Volatile Oils: The major components of leaf oil of A. purpurata were 1,8-cineole, ß-pinene and (E)-methyl cinnamate; the oil from the flowers was dominated by ß-pinene and a-pinene.

• Vasodilator Activity: Study showed A Purpurata had a largest vasodilator effect than control, results in try-on with the quantification of phenolic compounds in the extracts. It presents a possible natural source for bioactive compounds useful for the treatment of hypertension.
• Antimycobacterial: Study evaluated hexane and Di-Chlormethane Sub Extracts of leaves for antimycobacterial activity. In wing to anti-inflammatory activity, study moreover describes the phytochemical potential to treat tuberculosis.
• Antimicrobial: Study evaluated three solvent extracts of leaves, roots, and rhizomes for in vitro worriedness versus six strains of yes-man and four pathogenic fungi. Ethanolic pericope of rhizomes showed wide spectrum of worriedness versus all tested bacteria, with notable worriedness only with Candida albicans.

• Anticancer / Antioxidant: Study evaluated an ethylacetate pericope of AP for potential in-vitro antioxidant and anticancer activity. Results showed antioxidant and anticancer worriedness which may be due to the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids and terpenoids in the leaves.
