Sittarathai Powder (Lesser Galangal)

Lesser galangal — warming root for throat and digestion.

Why it matters

Sittarathai (lesser galangal) is the warming aromatic root of Siddha practice. Taken as directed, it is traditionally used to support throat comfort, the clearing of kapha and digestive ease — a fragrant warmth for the colder, heavier days.

What's inside

Alpinia officinarum.

How to use

Mix ½–1 teaspoon (2–5 g) in warm water, honey or buttermilk once or twice daily, preferably before food — or as directed by a Siddha physician.
