St. Hildegard says: "Anyone who suffers from pain and is in danger of fainting should eat a sufficient quantity of galanga and he will get better."

Galangal (Latin: Alpinia officinarum ) is an important and valuable spice that, according to St. Hildegard of Bingen, should be consumed every day. It is intense and quite spicy in taste. It is therefore most often added in pinches (1-3 pinches) to meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, as well as desserts, bread, cakes and cookies).
