Looks like I need to get me some dates! "Date is regarded as aphrodisiac, contraceptive, demulcent, diuretic, emollient, estrogenic, expectorant, laxative, pectoral, purgative, and refrigerant. In folk remedies, date is listed for anemia, asthma, bronchitis, cancer, cough, diarrhea, eyes, fatigue, fever, flu, gonorrhea, longevity, piles, sterility, stomachache, thirst, toothache, tuberculosis, urogenital ailments, vaginitis, virility, warts, indurations or tumors of the abdomen, gum, liver, mouth, parotids, spleen, testicle, and throat. According to superstitious belief, the pollen of a male date palm mixed with water is a charm against childlessness. As per Egyptian belief, swallowing one, two, or three date stones will prevent child-bearing for many years."
