Plai has long been used in traditional Thai massage to treat joint and muscular pain, and it is more potent than Ginger oil.

Thailand, Indonesia, and India are home to this species. Plai essential oil is often more potent than other ginger-related oils.

One significant distinction between Ginger and Plai is that Ginger is warming and stimulating, whereas Plai is cooling. Plai contains powerful anti-inflammatory effects in addition to analgesic properties, and it is this that gives it its cooling effect.

Plai has a cooling impact on pain and inflammation, making it a good choice for treating injuries, muscle and joint pain, and rheumatism.
