Alpinia galanga (Alpinia officinarum Hance) also known as Galana, Thai Ginger, Laos Root, Kah, Blue Ginger, Lesser galangal, Gao Liang Jiang​, Alpinia Galanga. Alpinia officinalis is a plant from the ginger family originating from southeast Asia. It has a shape very similar to ginger, but differs in taste. Its more aromatic scent and sweetish-peppery note are perfect as an addition to fish and seafood dishes, spicy sauces, soups, stewed vegetables and curries. It goes perfectly with garlic, chili, lemon and dill. Galangal has been used traditionally for ages, across all civilizations.

Galangal has been used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. It was brought to England and northern Europe in the 13th century by the crusaders where it became a popular spice and medicine. St. Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179 C.E.), recommended the herb as the spice for life and used it in many of her formulas. The herb also has a long history in Arabic medicine for its healing properties.
