Usages
In India and SE Asia (mainland SE Asia, Java, Philippines, New Guinea) cultivated. The rhizomes and leaves are utilized as spice (especially for flavouring rice). They are also used as perfume in shampoos, powder and other cosmetic articles. The rhizomes are chewed together with betel nuts and betel pepper or serve the preparation of a beverage. The young leaves and rhizomes are eaten as vegetable. In Vietnam and China the rhizomes are also used medicinally. An essential oil, extracted from the rhizomes by distillation, is utilized in perfumery, for flavouring curry and medicinal purposes. The rhizome is not the source of Rhizoma Galangae, as assumed formerly.
