Alpinia galanga, known as Greater Galangal, is a classic Southeast Asian medicinal and culinary root related to ginger. It is widely valued for digestive support, respiratory health, antimicrobial activity, inflammation reduction, and circulatory benefits. The root contains galangin, flavonoids, essential oils (1,8-cineole), eugenol, kaempferide, and other bioactive compounds.
Research shows that galangal supports digestion, reduces inflammation, provides strong antimicrobial effects, protects cells against oxidation, supports metabolic balance, and demonstrates anticancer activity against several cancer cell lines.
