For thousands of years, indigenous cultures have relied on the Acacia plant. The resin, bark and flowers were used in alcohol and smoke blends for retaining the properties of other plants for a longer time.
Acacia decocotions are reported to significantly potentiate the flavor of other herbs without reacting with them. Simply combine one part by weight of Acacia gum with three parts by volume of distilled water, place into a tightly closed bottle, shake occasionally, allow to dissolve, and keep refrigerated. Combine this liquid with wines or smoking blends.

This authentic Himalyan Kaempferia galanga (“galanga” or “resurrection lily”) is the one used by the mystics and NOT the culinary one. It was a favorite of Aleister Crowley, the English occultist. According to ancient scriptures, combining the roots with those of Wild Alpine Turmeric (not to be confused with the common spice, Turmeric) may have represented the perfect balance of yin and yang energies, and may be the reason that Crowley thought it was useful.
When burned as an incense, this combination (or Kaempferia galanga by itself) is thought to create a pleasant atmosphere. Many Tibetan incense formulas still use Galanga, especially in formulas to create an atmosphere suitable for contemplation. Our Kaempferia galanga is grown high in the Himalayan mountains, hence the name, Alpine Kaempferia galanga.
