Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Damiana (a aphrodisiaca) is found throughout Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. Its latin name suggests its use as an aphrodisiac. The ancient Mayans used damiana for "giddiness and loss of balance" as well as for an aphrodisiac. In the years following the European conquest of Central and South American Damiana has been associated with improving sexual function in both males and females. In Holland it is reknowned for its sexual enhancing qualities and positive effect on the reproductive organs. The pharmacology of the plant suggests that its alkaloids could have testosterone-like actions. Damiana is a major component of countless herbal "viagra alternative" remedies, aphrodisiacs, love potions and impotence cures. Curiously, it is also a pleasant mood enhancer that leaves many people with a feeling of happiness and well-being. Suzi What is a weed?
