Galangal is a wonderful plant medicine that can do an array of incredible things for your mind and body. It is rich in antioxidants that help to neutralize free radicals and protect against infection. It contains flavonoids that may lower your risk of developing diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. It is rich in Gallic acid (an anti-inflammatory) which can help prevent gastrointestinal diseases and other health conditions like diabetes. And it is especially rich in polyphenols linked to health benefits such as improved memory, lower blood sugar, and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. These polyphenols have also been thought to protect against mental decline, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. As if that isn’t enough reason to add galangal into your diet, it can also enhance iron absorption for enhanced blood circulation, provides vitamin C, improves immunity, and is a powerful anti-inflammatory which may reduce pain and inflammation by targeting chemical pathways that commonly cause autoimmune disorders. It doesn’t stop here! Galangal is bestowed with magnesium - a mineral for optimal muscle function - providing relief from muscle cramps. It can increase levels of dopamine which helps brain function and may improve spatial awareness as well as alertness and reaction time. It is high in Potassium which assists in the maintenance of normal blood pressure, promotes cardiac muscle activity, and raises good cholesterol (HDL). Anything else? Yes! This root is advantageous in preventing heart attacks and stroke, which contributes to a longer and healthier lifespan! It also offers an immune system boost, giving defense against the common cold and flu, and may prevent the growth of various bacteria, fungi, and yeast, while also being able to kill off harmful bacteria. Galangal has even been used to treat constipation, fortify bones with its calcium content, combat UTI, help to cure anemia, reduce skin inflammation, and offers anti-aging benefits. Last, but definitely not least, there is an active compound in galangal (galangin) which may have the ability to kill cancer cells and prevent them from spreading, as well as prevent several types of cancers, but more research is needed on the subject. Happiness is definitely here.
