"If someone suffers from pain or is at risk of circulatory weakness [fainting], they should immediately eat a sufficient amount of galangal, and they will feel better."
And further: "A person with a burning fever should crush galangal and drink the resulting powder in spring water. This will extinguish the fever because the coolness and sweetness of the spring water, combined with the heat of the galangal, reduce the intensity of the fever." More information: Physica by St. Hildegard of Bingen.

Galangal (Alpinia officinarum) is an important and valuable spice that, according to St. Hildegard, should be consumed daily. With its intense, spicy flavor, it’s usually added in small pinches (1-3 pinches) to meals, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts, bread, cakes, and cookies.
Ingredients: 100% galangal root powder. Store in a cool, dry place.
