The bamb(oo la la) has anti-inflammatory properties said to boost sex drive. It is the bamboo manna, the sweet secretion found inside bamboo stalks, which is used to treat erectile dysfunction. Bamboo manna has also been used in combination with other substances to treat ailments such as bronchitis, tuberculosis and asthma.
One way bamboo has been used to increase sexual arousal is in combination with the gecko. That’s correct, the toad-headed lizard has been used to assist with impotence in some parts of East Asia. First the gecko is caught, then its internal organs are removed and the eyes cut out and drained. Pieces of bamboo are placed within the body, the gecko is then baked and ready to eat! It is said to diminish impotence through its impact on the kidneys.
