Rubiaceae - syn. Nauclea gambir Hunter; gambir, Gambir
„Gambier is used in Sarawak (Malaysia) for chewing with areca and betel, for tanning, and for dyeing. It contains flavan-3-ols (catechins) which are known to have medicinal properties and are components of Chinese herbal remedies and certain modern medicines… To make gambier, the leaves are first boiled in water. They absorb it and turn brownish in color. The leaves are then pressed mechanically to squeeze and extract liquid. This liquid is then dried into a semi-solid paste and molded into cubes, which are dried in the sun.“ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncaria_gambir
