Property

Galanga essential oil has antiseptic, balsamic, bactericidal, and stimulating properties.
Diluted in vegetable oil, it produces a medicinal ointment that is effective against various respiratory problems and alleviates the effects of fatigue.
Popular herbal tradition even attributes its properties to promoting circulation, thus promoting muscle relaxation; for this purpose, in aromatherapy, a few drops are suggested in a hot bath. Diffused in the air, it promotes drowsiness.

Uses

Galangal was already known in ancient Egypt, where it was used for fumigation. Introduced to Europe in the Middle Ages, it eventually fell into disuse in the West.
Galangal essential oil has long been used in liqueurs (for over two hundred years, it has been an ingredient in the well-known bitter "Petrus," while in the Middle Ages, it was already the main ingredient in the preparation of a popular fortified wine of the time: Hippocras).
This essential oil is occasionally used as a fragrance component in perfumery, cosmetics, and soap making.

Botany

Native to Hainan Island (China), galangal is also known as "Chinese ginger". It is a rhizomatous herbaceous plant similar to the European cane that grows to a height of about one meter, with large leaves and red fruits. It is often confused with both greater galangal (Galanga officinalis) and ginger.
It is cultivated in China, Japan, Indonesia, and Thailand both for culinary purposes (a well-known ingredient in curry) and to obtain its essential oil.
