Kacip Fatimah


It wouldn't be fair to have only Tongkat Ali, so they created the female version , Kacip Fatimah. Also known as Labisa Pumila, it is heavily advertised on TV and promoted at the supermarkets. Most local people know that Kacip Fatimah is a traditional remedy, an energy booster for the woman. In some product descriptions, the claims include increasing libido ... The factory I visited had the product offerings in carbonated energy drink and premix coffee, but not yet in premix tea.
Kacip Fatimah is a small woody and leafy plant. The leaves are 20 cm long. It is usually found in the forest floors together with the rest of forest undergrowth. Today, it is quite common to find a potted Kacip Fatimah at the backyard. With so many herbal remedies to choose from, one can only get healthier !
