Description: The aroma of Galangal is woody, watery and floral with mild peppery notes. Galangal is a cross between ginger and turmeric and is often used in Indian and Thai cuisine for digestion and its pungent flavor. This essence is a useful digestive aide, liver and gallbladder tonic, carminative, aphrodisiac, analgesic, anti-spasmodic, anti-inflammatory, and respiratory aide. It can assist with issues such as skin infections, bronchitis, water retention, colitis, indigestion, nausea, circulation, arthritis, and fatigue from high stress levels. On an energetic level this essence feels gentle fortifying, and grounding. It can be a helpful remedy for congestion and digestion in the winter or early spring months when mucous and fats may build up in the system and create a bit of overload. Galangal can be the friend who helps with digestion on all levels when there have been too many emotionally charged or stressful events to process and not enough time to rest and digest on an emotional level.
