Damiana is a traditional medicinal plant for increasing desire; its aphrodisiac effect was already recognized and appreciated by the Maya. Basically, the aphrodisiac effect of the medicinal plant Damiana is supposed to help women and men to increase desire and when sexual desire decreases.
Damiana is also said to help with loss of appetite, strengthen the digestive organs and relieve stomach pain. However, the plant is really known for its aphrodisiac effect.
How does Damiana work? The effect of Damiana is based on the interaction of high-quality plant substances. The leaves in particular are rich in terpenes such as cineole, arbutin, pinene, damianin, thymol, but also tannin and caffeine. The leaves are harvested during the flowering period to extract the pharmaceutical drug.
The leaves of the Damiana can be particularly helpful in the relief of colds and infectious diseases when taken as a tea or liqueur, but can also help to improve states of exhaustion, depression and nervous tension. For this reason, Damiana is considered a "mandatory 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, 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 let it steep 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.
