Galangal, often referred to as "Thai ginger," is a powerful Ayurvedic herb known for its warm, spicy nature and robust medicinal qualities. Used extensively in digestive and respiratory therapies, galangal stimulates appetite, enhances digestion, and helps relieve bloating and nausea. It’s also revered for its ability to boost immunity, clear respiratory blockages, and combat inflammation naturally.
At Farm Ayurveda, we offer organically sourced Galangal, harvested and dried under hygienic conditions to preserve its potency. Whether used as a decoction, powder, or paste, galangal is ideal for those seeking natural support for gut health, respiratory strength, and vitality. Its aromatic and spicy nature also makes it a favorite ingredient in herbal teas and formulations.
Galangal has been used in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine for over a thousand years. Its Sanskrit name Kulanjana is mentioned in classic Ayurvedic texts for treating digestive disorders, throat infections, and inflammation. Galangal’s use later spread to Southeast Asia and the Middle East, where it became a staple in both culinary and medicinal practices. It was prized not just for its pungent taste but for its strong healing properties and warming effect on the body.
