Everything about Damiana totally explained
Damiana (
Turnera diffusa, syn.
Turnera aphrodisiaca) is a
shrub native to
Central America,
Mexico,
South America, and the
West Indies. It belongs to the family
Turneraceae.
Damiana is a relatively small shrub that produces small, aromatic flowers. It blossoms in early to late summer and is followed by fruits that taste very similarly to figs. The shrub is said to have an odor somewhat like
chamomile or
Cannabis sativa, due to an oil present in the plant. The
leaves have traditionally been made into a
tea which was used by native people of Central and South America for its
aphrodisiac effects. Spanish missonaries first recorded that the Mexican Indians drank Damiana tea mixed with
sugar for its ability to enhance lovemaking.
