Zingiber Cassumunar (AKA Zingiber Montanum) also called Plai ไพล, ปูเลย or ว่านไฟ in Thailand is a species of plant from the Ginger family. It's native to Thailand and surrounding regions and local Thai and Asian cultures have been using Plai for healing, anitbacterial applications, aiding inflammation and pain relief for millennia.
Recently Scientific studies have identified that Zingiber Cassumunar rhizomes are found to contain three potent antioxidants, cassumunarin A, B, and C, which represent a novel type of complex curcumin compound that does indeed support those ancient claims of rapid healing & pain relief to muscles. Indeed, that is what this herbal extract is famous for throughout most of Asia.

Zingiber Cassumunar
The main active ingredients in Plai extracts and oils are phenylbutanoid compounds, such as zerumbone, panduratin A, and cassumunarins A, B & C. These compounds have been shown to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and enzymes, such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and lipoxygenase (LOX). COX-2 and LOX are responsible for the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which are inflammatory mediators that play a role in pain and inflammation.
In addition to their anti-inflammatory effects, Plai extracts and oils have also been shown to have analgesic properties. Zerumbone, in particular, has been shown to inhibit the activity of transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1), which is a pain receptor that is activated by heat, capsaicin, and other stimuli.
Plai extracts and oils are typically applied topically to the affected area using a compress, massage oil, gel, or ointment. When applied to the skin, Plai extracts and oils are absorbed into the underlying subdermal tissues, where they can exert their anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
Plai extracts and oils have been shown to be effective in treating a variety of ailments including muscle, joint, and injury pains such as:
-
