Zallouh (Arabic: زلّوع) is made from the root of the herb Ferula hermonis, which grows at the height of 2000 meters above sea level on Mount Hermon between Syria and Lebanon. It has been used as an aphrodisiac since ancient times, and it is a well known folk remedy in some parts of Syria and Lebanon. Its chemical powers and benefits were studied and confirmed by doctors and scientists a few years ago, and the word spread worldwide. The traditional Lebanese way to take this herb was to slit the root and wait for the resin to ooze out.
