Galangal Root Cut "Chewing John" 1oz (Alpinia Species)

Galangal root, also known as Little John, Chewing John and Galingale, comes from the rhizome of a tropical plant native to Indonesia. Reputedly, chewing the root and then spitting on the floor of a courtroom before the judge takes the bench will ensure a legal outcome in your favor. (Of course, you might want to hire a lawyer, too.) The chopped root is used to make teas and tinctures.
