Zedoary

Zedoary is a perennial plant indigenous to northeast India. This member of the Ginger family is also a traditional remedy for relieving indigestion, heartburn, gas, nausea, and other digestive complaints.


As a digestive aid, Zedoary is primarily valued for its bitter properties. In fact, it's one of the main ingredients in the well-known SWEDISH BITTERS mix. In herbal medicine, bitter herbs promote and enhance digestion by increasing the flow of digestive
secretions, such as bile (plays a role in the digestion of fats).
COMMON NAMES: Cedoaria (Spanish), Curcuma zedoaria, Kha min khao (Thai), Shati (Sanskrit), White Turmeric, Zedoaria (Italian).
