摘要
Alpinia galangal has anti-inflammatory properties and is useful in rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis. It also contains enzymes, polysaccharides and nutrients, which exhibit antibacterial effect and acts against streptococci, staphylococci and coliform bacteria. These properties are believed to be mediated by different phytochemicals found in the plant, acting singly or in concert. This paper critically reviews the present state of scientific knowledge on the medicinal potentials of A. galanga.
