A white powder produced from a palm tree called Baji is now discovered to have potential effect like Viagra. Hmm interesting.I supposed this would mainly be used as Aphrodisiacs not as Viagra, which is a cure for Erectile Dysfunction. Viagra is a drug approved by Food and Drug Administration in the US and scientist is not considering it aphrodisiacs since they do not have any mood effect (desire). Aphrodisiac are considered agent in which increases sexual desire or sexual arousal.
Result from my Internet search; Aphrodisiacs appear to gain their reputation from the principles of sympathetic magic, e.g. oysters or tahong, due to their shape. This also explains the trade in the phallic-looking horn of the rhinoceros. Other animal-based aphrodisiacs gain their reputation from the apparent virility or aggressiveness of the animal source — such as tiger penis — also endangering the species.
Baji may also have this reputation. This palm is used in flooring and has strong solid strand. Anyway, working or not this discovery by some barangay police from Barangay Arellano said it really work. Maybe because if this is an Aphrodisiacs by historical and scientific standpoint, this only produce the desired result simply because their users have chosen to believe they will be effective (The Placebo Effect).
Some residents now inquiring if they could export this as a product.
