Buy Galangal Oil
Galangal, a herb from the ginger family, thrives primarily in Southeast Asia, reaching up to 5 feet in height. It features green sword-like leaves, white blossoms, and a fragrant rhizome. In Europe, galangal root is commonly used as a spice, while in Thailand, it flavors curries. Traditionally, it has been utilized in folk medicine to address rheumatism, inflammation, and bronchial asthma.
 
Additionally, the root is believed to aid in treating indigestion, colic, dysentery, and certain skin ailments. In powdered form or as an alcoholic extract, galangal is considered a stimulant and, when combined with ginger, cinnamon, and clove, has been used as an aphrodisiac due to its invigorating aroma. Medicinally, it has applications for cholera, congestion, and digestive issues. Galangal oil is extracted from the rhizome through steam distillation and pairs well with chamomile, cinnamon, lavender, and rosemary oils.
