Gambir found in Sarawak is actually atree/shrub, that used to be popular for chewing with betel nut.Traditionally about 1/4 of a whole betel nut would be wrap inside a leaf with a pinch of lime and a little gambir flavoring, the whole quid would be chewed, swallowing the secreted juices. Beside that, its also known to be used as an important leather tanning material. There is even a street named after it, Gambir Street, as Gambir and other spices were actively traded back in the early 1900's.
Gambir, also known as Uncariae Ramulus et Uncus in Latin, is mostly found in South East Asia. It is an extract prepared from the leaves and twigs of Ourouparia Gambir.
Medical research shows that gambir is a powerfully astringent. It restrains excessive discharges, overcomes relaxation and congestion, and checks local hemorrhages. Gambir is also used in relaxed sore throat, relaxed uvula, and the relaxation and congestion of the fauces common to speakers and singers.
Locally in Sarawak, Borneo, it has been widely used by the native people to cure gum and toothache, insect bites and minor cuts. It also has been used to cure premature ejaculation. The results are found to be better than Jamaican Stone.
Gambir Sarawak is more superior than Jamaican Stone because Jamaican Stone makes one loose sensation and sex does not remain as much fun afterward. However Gambir Sarawak is different. Gambir Sarawak is absorbed by the skin and does not numb the skin but instead has very potent anti-serotonergic activity, which means that it delays the orgasm reflex without effecting the normal sensations. Sex life remains fantastic and excited!
