Essential Oil – Galangal

• A sophisticated warm, spicy, and woody aroma.
• It is less "electric" and biting than its lesser cousin, offering instead a sweet, balsamic depth.
• It features a fascinating cinnamon-like warmth and a subtle floral-fruity top note that reminds some of a mix between Ginger and Cardamom.
• It is deep, savory, and incredibly "vibrant."

• Gas & Bloating Relief: Acts as a powerful carminative, helping to disperse trapped gas and ease the discomfort of abdominal distension.
• Calming Nausea: Very effective for motion sickness or general queasiness; simply inhaling the scent can help settle the stomach.
• Digestive Stimulant: Helps "ignite" the digestive fire, making it useful for those with a slow metabolism or chronic indigestion.
• Intestinal Spasms: Helps relax the smooth muscles of the digestive tract to soothe cramping.

Musculoskeletal & Circulation
