Abstract

Natural products based on alternative medicines are getting popularity among consumers nowadays. This review aimed to explore the diverse use and effects of Alpinia conchigera Griff. as an antibacterial and antifungal. Keywords such as Alpinia conchigera, antimicrobial, antifungal and biology activity were used to search related studies from available databases. The review revealed that Alpinia conchigera exhibits antibacterial and antifungal activities to inhibit and kill pathogens because its essential oil that contains numerous phytochemical compounds such as chavicol acetate, β-sitosterol, alkaloids, steroids, saponins and other functions. Although studies have shown its general health medical value, there are still limited in-vitro and in-vivo studies mainly on the effectiveness of Alpinia conchigera Griff. on general health and oral health. Thus, more research is warranted in this area to encourage using natural resources for health.
