Damiana Leaves

Damiana Leaves 400 mg 100 caps by Natures Way.

Damiana is traditionally used by herbalists as a tea. Damiana is an aromatic shrub native to the deserts of North America.

Damiana is an ancient tonic that lifts the spirits, perks up lost vitality and energy and promotes an overall feeling of well-being.  It also has a reputation as a sexual stimulant and rejuvenator and has been used to treat sexual impotence and infertility in both males and females. Women have found it helpful when looking for relief of the discomforts of painful menstruation and menopausal problems.

Since the 19th century this herb has been used as an overall body tonic, and can be used for a variety of ailments for both men and women. Damiana acts as an anti-depressant. It reduces anxiety, nervousness, and mild depression and promotes a general feeling of well-being. It also stimulates the circulation of the body, which raises energy levels, thereby promoting weight loss.

Today Damiana is used to treat asthma and other respiratory diseases, depression, digestive problems, menstrual disorders, and various forms of sexual dysfunction such as impotence in men, and inability to achieve orgasm in women. While Damiana is still popular as an aphrodisiac for males, the effects appear to be rather mild, and no scientific studies have been reported. Even though Damiana contains arbutin, a urinary antiseptic, the levels are probably too low to make this herb a useful treatment for bladder infections.

There are herbalists that recommend that Damian can relieve anxiety, nervousness and mild depression, especially if these symptoms are combined with sexual issues. The herb is also used as a general tonic to improve wellness.
