Damiana - Sexual Herbal Supplement
Notes
Hormone regulator for nervous and sexual balance
A central nervous system tonic with benefits for
the reproductive organs. May stimulate the
production of the male hormone testosterone. Often
used by women for hormone balancing, hot flashes,
infertility and menopause. The Mayans of Yucatan
used it for dizziness, vertigo and lung disorders
including asthma.
Damiana is used for both frigidity in women and
impotence in men. It is recommended where there is
unbalanced nervous anxiety with depression
including unbalanced energy through the day.
Damiana may stimulate fertility by increasing
sperm count in men and strengthening the ovum in
women.
Damiana is often used with equal amounts of saw
palmetto.
Do not use if there is urinary system inflammation
or pregnancy (stimulates menstrual flow).
Research: (10 studies, 1 clinical)
Damiana’s folk reputation is supported by at least
one animal study which concluded that it was
indeed an effective sexual stimulant.
