Curcuma comosa, commonly known as temu tis or white ginger, is a perennial rhizomatous herb in the Zingiberaceae family. Native to Southeast Asia, it is cultivated for its aromatic rhizomes, which are used in traditional medicine and occasionally in culinary applications. Traditionally, the rhizomes have been valued for their anti-inflammatory, hormone-balancing, and digestive-supporting properties. With its medicinal, cultural, and ethnobotanical significance, Curcuma comosa remains an important species in tropical herbal practices, home gardens, and regional health traditions.
