The farmers chew the coca leaves together with a small piece of lime ash in order to increase the stimulating effect because it not only lessens hunger which will be good for a society where food is in scarce; it also stimulates the heart and helps the farmers to endure working at so high atmospheric layers.

Also tourists chew many coca leaves and drink much coca tea, in order to get used to the heights.
