Shampoo ginger is a perennial herb.
Shampoo ginger "zarnab" is found in many tropical countries of Asia. It originates from India, then it spread throughout the world.
The plant is not mentioned in the Holy Qur’an.
‘A’isha reported that (one day) there sat together eleven women making an explicit promise amongst themselves that they would conceal nothing about their spouses. The eighth one said: My husband is as sweet as the Zarnab (the sweet-smelling plant), and as soft as the softness of the hare.” Sahih Al Bukhari, book of marriage.
