Galangal Root
Cyber Moon Emporium
Also known as chewing John,
Little John, and Alpina galangal, Galangal has long been used in a wide
variety of oriental cuisines, and in its raw form it offers a smell
that is quite reminiscent of citrus, with rich hints of pine. Throughout
Southeastern Asia it can also be used as a component in a tonic, often
mingled with lemon juice, for the treatment of coughs and throat
ailments. Perhaps more famously to those of the Western world, Galangal
has come to be known as Low John in Hoodoo practices, where it is often
carried in a mojo bag or otherwise used in spiritual ritual and spells
to find aid in winning court cases, increasing your wealth, and break
and protect from hexes and curses. Less commonly, it can also be found
used in spells seeking to increase psychic potency or those rituals and
spells involving sexual magic.
Outside of spiritual practices, Galangal
is still most commonly found today used in South Eastern Asia as a
culinary herb, most
famously perhaps in Tom Yu m Soup as well as
Dtom Kha gai. Medicinally, the folk remedy where it is used as a tonic
still holds to be the most common treatment, where it is still used
throughout South East Asia to treat coughs and colds when blended with
lemon juice.
