The king of Malaysian herbs is the root Tongkat Ali. It is often referred to as the Malaysian answer to viagra! Tongkat Ali is a potent and natural aphrodisiac which has been used in this region for centuries. Research indicates that it assists in the increase of testosterone levels (do we need any more at a regatta??) and hence the libido. It promotes good blood circulation and appetite, as it increases metabolic rate. Other medicinal values include treating diabetes, high blood pressure and diarrhea.

Tongkat Ali coffee and tea is sold in hawkers stalls, supermarkets and even in some posh hotels!

It is also available in capsule form -- Check it out for yourself, there is some interesting reading on the internet.
