Damiana is a traditional medicinal plant used to increase libido; its aphrodisiac effect was already recognized and appreciated by the Maya. Essentially, the aphrodisiac effect of the medicinal plant Damiana is said to support both men and women in increasing libido and in coping with declining sexual desire.
Damiana is also said to help with loss of appetite, strengthen the digestive system, and relieve stomach pain. However, the plant is truly known for its aphrodisiac properties.
How does Damiana work? The effects of damiana are based on the interaction of high-quality plant substances. The leaves, in particular, are rich in terpenes such as cineole, arbutin, pinene, damianin, and thymol, as well as tannin and caffeine. The leaves are harvested during the flowering period to extract the pharmaceutical drug.
The leaves of Damiana can be used as a tea or liqueur to help relieve colds and infectious diseases, but can also be used to improvement from exhaustion, depressive moods and nervous tension For this reason, Damiana is considered a must-have ingredient in Mexico, and should be found in abundance in a real Margarita.
Another very simple method of use is damiana tea. For regular use, you should use about 1 to 2 teaspoons per cup. Let the tea steep in hot water for 10-15 minutes. To brew a strong, one-time dose, use 10-15 grams of dried damiana and steep it in 1 liter of hot water.
If you like it a little sweeter, you can add some honey to the tea.
Another option is smoking with Damiana. The smoke has a stimulating and aphrodisiac effect.
