Abstract
Zingiber officinale and Hibiscus sabdariffa are common medical plants used in traditional medicine.

The aim of this study is to estimate the mineral composing, Zingier officinal, Zingier officinal and Hibiscus sabdariffa which would be an important promotion vantage in human health, despite the fact that the characterization of the components is somewhat difficult. The analysis of mineral composition of these plants is carried out by using inductively Coupled Plasma- Mass spectrometry. The finding of this study shows that the level of the elements in, Zingier officinal are 345.7, 7012.7, 2444.7, 685, 8283, 67722, 12260 and 2520 μgkg for Se, Z, Cu, Fe, Ca, K, Mg and Na, respectively. The level of Se, Zn, Cu, Fe, Ca, K, Mg and Nain Hibisus sabdariffa are 55.7, 3052, 2288, 120, 112071, 88690, 27822 and 2229 μgkg, respectively.
