Very interesting, thank you. I recall seeing kunyit hitam in the markets in Malaysia, but never tried it. I learned a new word today, rubefacient. I’ll have to use it in a sentence in my writers group tomorrow.

Is it possible to find some to grow in a pot or garden? I guess most importantly what are your thoughts on growing plants where they are not native?

Yes! I think it should be possible to grow in a pot or garden. I'm awaiting a sample of the rhizomes to try to start myself and will report back. Anyone else have feedback here on growth conditions? I'm leaning towards a pot I can bring inside during the winter.
