Alpinia Galanga warming balm, the athlete's complete ally : circulation|inflammation|recovery
I. A warm balm aimed at athletes : muscle preparation, relaxing effect & circulatory stimulant
Alpinia Galanga balm is a unique combination of Alpinia Galanga rhizome, eucalyptus globulus essential oil and peppermint essential oil, originating from Thailand. This formula was created to offer a variety of benefits mainly for regular sports practice thanks to its herbal active ingredients.
In traditional Thai medicine, the rhizome of Alpinia Galanga is prized for its stimulating and analgesic properties, while the essential oil of eucalyptus globulus is known for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory action. Peppermint essential oil, on the other hand, is used for its cooling and soothing effects.

Practical & easy to use, this product is ideal for athletes looking for muscular performance, especially trail runners, mountain hikers or cyclists.
In Thailand, the rhizome of Alpinia Galanga incorporated in hot balm is applied for its muscle relaxant & circulatory stimulating effect. Its energizing & invigorating scents will be appreciated during sport.
II. The benefits for athletes
Localized circulatory stimulation. The use of Alpinia Galanga balm targets the functioning of the muscular ecosystem by improving blood circulation around the treated area. A simple application to the skin before exercise helps improve blood flow to active muscles during training.
It is also to reduce the occurrence of soreness and muscle cramps, which can be very common in athletes who perform intense workouts.

In short, this heating & circulatory stimulation effect offers many advantages for athletes by allowing them to maximize their performance while minimizing their pain and discomfort.
A. A boost when warming up the muscles before exercise
In addition to being a hot balm due to its formulation containing camphor tree resin, the Alpinia Galanga balm prepares the muscles for training by improving their flexibility, thus reducing the risk of injury.

K Tarn & his duty : transmit traditionnal knowledge about herbal uses in Thailand.
Thai traditional medicine has an approach based on energy flow across the whole body. This flows paths, disruption that may obstruct them & the way to restore them have been studied by monks & traditional healer.
Among Thai contemporary urban society, this approach still has a place. In front of disease, the purpose is to consider that the patient seeks to restore the balance by focusing on 3 ways :
- An external action (especially through massage or use of medicinal plants applied onto the body)
- An internal action (especially through the use of medicinal plants or specific diet)
- A spirituality (especially through relaxation techniques)
Those practices were mainly influenced over time by Chinese Traditional Medicine, Ayurveda, yoga & buddhism.
Inhalers, balms, oils & other Cher-aim products are straight on line with this approach. They drew their potential from this heritage of knowledge usually transmetted in Thai Buddihst temples. Nowadays, Cher-aim still has a special relationship with the Wat Pho's traditional medicine school in Bangkok.
