DAMIANA LEAF C/S - 4 OZ "Turnera diffusa Damiana is a traditional aphrodisiac of the Mayan people in Central America. Damiana continues to be considered valuable as an aphrodisiac and general tonic and its stimulant tonic action also makes it a valuable remedy for people with mild depression. Damiana has a strongly aromatic slightly bitter taste and the leaves are used in Mexico as a substitute for tea and as a flavoring for liqueurs.Damiana leaves drunk in the form of a tea or smoked like tobacco produced a relaxed state in the user and a kind of subtle high with sexual overtones somewhat reminiscent of the effects of marijuana. The drug is supposed to be especially effective in women. Damiana liqueurs produced in Mexico and subtly advertised as aphrodisiacs contain only minute quantities of the drug. The amount is sufficient however to give these beverages a distinctive flavor.Damiana is a tonic and restorative for the nervous system and has always been considered an aphrodisiac. Its tonic action is partly due to the constituent thymol which has an antiseptic and tonic action.Antidepressant - Technically damiana is a thymoleptic (having a life-enhancing and stimulating action on the body and mind). It is given people suffering from mild to moderate depression and nervous exhaustion. Its stimulating and restorative properties make it valuable when anxiety and depression occur together as often happens after long-term stress.Sexual restorative - Due to its testosterogenic quality damiana has always been seen principally as an herb for men helpful in treating premature ejaculation and impotence. It is however beneficial for both men and women being considered restorative to the reproductive organs of both sexes.Gynecological problems - Damiana is often given for painful and delayed periods and is used specifically for headaches connected to menstruation."
