Galangal (Alpinia officinarum)
The Herb Galangal (Alpinia officinarum)

The medical applications of galangal are in many ways the same as its close relative ginger.

It is a bitter herb that is used to promote digestion and stimulate appetite and production of digestive fluids. The herb is therefore used to treat anorexia, indigestion (dyspepsia), colic and stomach ache.

It is also used traditionally for hiccups, nausea, vomiting, chronic gastritis, and ulcers in the digestive tract.

The herb has analgesic (relieving pain) and antipyretic (reducing fever) properties, and it may also help reduce bacterial and fungal infections.
