Rhizoma Kaempferiae / Galangal / Sha Jiang/ Shan Nai(4 oz/bag)
Galangal contains anti-inflammatory properties and therefore is beneficial in the treatment of arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. - It also helps to relieve discomfort caused due to inflammation of the abdomen and ulcers too. - To curb sea and motion sickness, nausea, chew a few slices of fresh galangal.
Most Effective as an aphrodisiac, for impotence, and multiple sclerosis
Caution: fresh root is toxic causing nausea; avoid during pregnancy; avoid use with salt.
Ginger vs. Galangal: Their biggest difference is their taste: galangal has a sharp citrusy, almost piney flavor, while ginger is fresh, pungently spicy, and barely sweet — that means that they cannot be used interchangeably.
Galangal is said to mask the fishy flavor, so it is a popular spice to use in seafood dishes, like a Vietnamese braised carp with a sweet-salty galangal sauce. I added a couple of teaspoons of the powdered spice to a Thai-style coconut-curried shrimp dish, similar to tom kha goong
Soak dried galangal in warm water. .. Galangal is often used by Chinese, Indian and European physicians to treat hiccups, nausea, and other stomach discomforts
