Damiana is a small shrub that grows 1-2 m high and bears aromatic, serrated leaves that are 10-25 cm long. Damiana leaves have been used historically as an aphrodisiac to boost sexual potency in both men and women by the native people of Mexico. Often used to support treatments of sterility, diabetes, bladder infection and asthma, Damiana is also said to possess mild sedative qualities, able to induce a state of relaxation and to aid in falling asleep.
Incredibly soothing and stimulating feelings were reported when mixed with Skullcap.
Commonly Damiana is taken as a tea made by adding 2 to 4 grams of dried leaves to about 8 ounces of boiling water. Up to three cups of this tea may be consumed daily.
