Gingerol, or sometimes [6] -gingerol, is the active constituent of fresh ginger. Chemically, gingerol is a relative of capsaicin, the compound that gives chile peppers their spiciness. It is normally found as a pungent yellow oil, but also can form a low-melting crystalline solid.

Cooking ginger transforms gingerol into zingerone, which is less pungent and has a spicy-sweet aroma.

Gingerol may reduce nausea caused by motion sickness or pregnancy [cite journal | last = Ernst | first = E. | coauthors = and M. H. Pittler | year = 2000 | title = Efficacy of ginger for nausea and vomiting: a systematic review of randomized clinical trials | journal = British Journal of Anaesthesia | volume = 84 | issue = 3 | pages = 367–371 | url = http://bja.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/84/3/367 | format = PDF | accessdate = 2006-09-06 | pmid = 10793599] and may also relieve migraine.

[6] -Gingerol has been used to induce a suspended animation-like hypothermic state in rats [cite journal | author=Ueki S, Miyoshi M, Shido O, Hasegawa J, Watanabe T | title=Systemic administration of [6] -gingerol, a pungent constituent of ginger, induces hypothermia in rats via an inhibitory effect on metabolic rate | journal=EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY | year=2008 | pmid=18295202 | doi=10.1016/j.ejphar.2008.01.031 | volume=584 | pages=87 ] .
