The doctrine of signatures is a philosophy shared by herbalists from the time of Dioscurides and Galen. This doctrine states that herbs that resemble various parts of the body can be used to treat ailments of that part of the body.
So we have various fruits for the different body parts:
Walnut for brain and head ailments
Figs for sperms
Bunga telang for the female sex organ
Buah kote (kote Mamak) for the penis (for hypertension and diabetes)
