Damiana

Damiana is a wild deciduous shrub found in the dry regions of South America, Mexico and the West Indies. The plant grows between one and two meters in height with large, long leaves that let of a scent similar to chamomile.

It is believed that the Mayan Indians used this herb to prevent falling and loss of balance but also as an aphrodisiac. They say the damiana leaf produces a marijuana-like euphoria lasting between sixty and ninety minutes. However, such effects are little more than anecdotal at this time.

Aside from its aphrodisiac qualities, damiana is sometimes used to treat anxiety and depression associated with hormonal changes. It is also said to be a mild stimulant to enhance stamina generally also for boosting and maintaining mental and physical capacity.

Damiana is actually used around Europe and the United States to flavor food and beverages. You may find the herb can be found in liquers, honey and tea.

After 4 weeks, 73.5% of the women in the treatment group reported an increase in sexual satisfaction compared with 37.2% receiving placebo*.
