 In the Mondulkiri Province of Cambodia , hunters believe that lorises can heal their own broken bones immediately after falling from a branch so that they can climb back up the tree . They also believe that slow lorises have medicinal powers because they require more than one hit with a stick to die . In the province of North Sumatra , the slow loris is thought to bring good luck if it is buried under a house or a road . In the same province , slow loris body parts were used to place curses on enemies . In Java , it was thought that putting a piece of its skull in a water jug would make a husband more docile and submissive , just like a slow loris in the daytime . More recently , researchers have documented the belief that the consumption of loris meat was an aphrodisiac that improves " male power " . The gall bladder of the Bengal slow loris has historically been used to make ink for tattoos by the village elders in Pursat and Koh Kong Provinces of Cambodia . Loris wine is a traditional Cambodian medicine supposed to alleviate the pain of childbirth , made from a mixture of loris bodies and rice wine .
