Sea Cucumbers, also known as "Gamat", are utilised for much more than food. The word Gamat specifically refers to medicinal remedies made from any species of cucumbers found worldwide.

Sea cucumbers are widely regarded as having the properties of a stimulant, and even an aphrodesiac. In China, the sea cucumber is called "Hai Shen" (海黄瓜), which translates roughly to "Sea Ginseng", possibly because of the various medicinal uses.
