      The gourd is used traditionally to administer enemas. Along the upper Congo River an enema apparatus is made by making a hole in one end of the gourd for filling it, and using a resin to attach a hollow cane to the gourd’s neck.[52]

          There’s also a 13th century persian poem called The Importance of Gourd Crafting that offers other rather intimate uses for the produce.
