Galangal is an East Asian tropical shrub with lance-like leaves, iris-like flowers, and reddish brown, woody rhizomes. The name galangal is derived from the Arabic khalanjan, referring to Chinese ginger. Galangal is an important herb in Saudi herbal medicine. Traditional Chinese Medicine uses galangal in formulas for the "spleen" to treat digestive problems and health conditions relating to a lack of the earth element, or difficulties in leading a "grounded" life. Various formulas feature galangal for treating "rebellious qi," in which energies that should go down in the body try to come up, as hiccups, belches, burps, and regurgitation. Galangal root is generally used in protection incenses and spells, and to stimulate energy. This herb is ruled by the planet Mars and by the element of Fire. This sample is 100% certified Organic.
