DQ Farm (est. 1991)

These are four to five year old lempoyang from our farm.  You can call Suria if you wish to purchase them:

Younger rhizomes (above picture) similar to those sold in the markets are used by us for replanting. Older rhizomes are used by us for health supplementation purposes.

Here's a research paper on the anti-inflammatory effect of lempoyang :

The aqueous extract is as effective as reference NSAIDs.

We use the lempoyang as part of our anti-inflammation diet at a dosage of 5 to 10 grams twice a week.

Here's a Bernama report on the effects of lempoyang on cervical cancer:

Readers of this blog please note that the report refers to laboratory results on laboratory animals.  Results on humans may differ significantly.  Extracts from many plants of the ginger family have been found to have cytotoxic effects on cancer cells in the laboratory but these does not necessarily translate to a cure.

Wild gingers have lovely flowers seldom seen.

Some of the wild gingers planted at our farm are flowering (click on pics for enlarged image).

The delicate flower of the potent all-black kunyit hitam or black turmeric, scientific name unknown.  We have successfully treated chronic inflammation and immune system related problems such as lichen planus with this ginger.
