Galangal Essential Oil 1/4th Oz. (Alpina officinalis)

Product Details

Galangal essential oil, steam distilled from the rhizome of the Southeast Asian plant, offers a surprising range of benefits in aromatherapy. It has a warm, spicy scent with hints of wood and sweetness. This unique aroma is known to promote relaxation and ease feelings of anxiety. The oil's calming properties are believed to stem from compounds like ethyl-cinnamate, making it a great choice to diffuse before bed or during meditation for a more peaceful state of mind.

Beyond relaxation, Galangal essential oil shares some properties with its Ginger family relatives. It can be helpful for easing indigestion and nausea, particularly when diffused or diluted in a carrier oil for topical application on the stomach. Galangal's warming properties may also bring relief to sore muscles and achy joints. For this purpose, consider diluting it with a carrier oil like Jojoba and massaging it into the affected areas.

When it comes to pairing, Galangal essential oil blends well with other calming oils like Lavender and Chamomile to create a truly restful atmosphere. For a more invigorating experience, try combining it with citrus oils like Grapefruit or Lemon to promote focus and clarity.

In the realm of magick, Galangal's properties extend beyond aromatherapy. Its grounding and protective qualities make it a beneficial addition to rituals for stability and security. The oil can be diffused during spellwork or added to charm pouches intended to ward off negativity. For an added touch, consider incorporating dried galangal root alongside other herbs or crystals that resonate with your magical intentions.
