Phytochemicals present in the genus Allium and Ginger have potential pharmacological effects, such as antimicrobial, antithrombotic, antitumor, hypo lipidaemic and hypoglycemic activities. In the present study, we examined the effects of garlic and ginger oils on human leukemia (K 562) and Breast Cancer (MCF-7) cells. Incubation of K 562 and MCF-7 with garlic and ginger mixture (5.0 __ampersandsignmu;g/ml) caused a marked suppression of K562 and MCF-7 proliferations when compared with DMSO (used as positive control) separately. The combination of garlic and ginger oil results were more effective (p __ampersandsignlt;0.05, 0.01) than DMS
