Eurycoma longifolia (commonly called Tongkat Ali or Pasak Bumi) is a flowering plant in the family Simaroubaceae, native to Malaysia and Indonesia and, to a lesser extent, Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos. It is also known under the names penawar pahit, penawar bias, bedara merah, bedara putih, lempedu pahit, payong ali, tongkat baginda, muntah bumi, petala bumi (all the above Malay); bidara laut (Indonesian); cay ba binh (Vietnamese) and tho nan (Laotian).

Most Southeast Asians consume it for the plant's impact on sexual conduct. Already in 2001, Tongkat Ali has gained notoriety as a symbol of man's ego and strength by the Malaysian men because it increases male virility and sexual prowess during sexual activities.

Apart from the testosterone-related effects, ethnopharmacological inventory study stated: "The plant parts have been traditionally used for its antimalarial, aphrodisiac, anti-diabetic, antimicrobial, antipyretic activities, antibacterial, antiulcer, antitumor, and cytotoxic properties are well documented.
