Damiana
Damiana is a small shrub with aromatic leaves found on dry, sunny, rocky hillsides in south Texas, Southern California, Mexico, and Central America. Damiana leaves have been used as an aphrodisiac by the native peoples of Mexico, including the Mayan Indians. The two species used in herbal healing, both of which are referred to as damiana, are Turnera aphrodisiaca and Turnera diffusa.
Historically, damiana has been used to relieve anxiety, nervousness, and mild depression, especially if these symptoms have a sexual component. Damiana is also used as a general tonic. Damiana has also been used traditionally to improve digestion and to treat constipation, as in larger doses it is thought to be mildly laxative.
Damiana is well known in southwestern American cultures as a sexual tonic and is recommended by many top herbalists. Damiana stimulates the intestinal tract and brings oxygen to the genital area. Damiana also increases energy levels, which does a lot to restore libido and desire. In women, Damiana often restores the ability to achieve orgasm. Damiana is used primarily as an energy tonic and an aphrodisiac for both men and women.

Damiana can work quickly to stimulate the genital area by enriching the oxygen supply. Longer term use of damiana can improve sexual fitness and performance.
The libido-boosting power of damiana hasn't been tested in humans, although a liquor made from the leaves has long been used as an aphrodisiac in Mexico. In animal studies, extracts of damiana speeded up the mating behavior of "sexually sluggish" or impotent male rats. It had no effect on sexually potent rats.
The chemical composition of damiana is complex and all of the components have not been completely identified. However, the known make-up is 0.5-1% volatile oil, flavonoids, gonzalitosin, arbutin, tannin and damianin (a brown bitter substance). It also contains essential oils (containing cineol, cymol, pinene), cyanogenic glycosides, thymol and trace amounts of phosphorus.
How damiana works as an aphrodisiac is currently not known. It is also claimed that when drank as a tea it has a relaxing effect not-unlike low doses of cannabis.
Diabetics are advised not to take damiana because it may affect blood sugar levels. Due to a lack of information about potential effects of damiana, it should also be avoided by small children and pregnant or breast-feeding women.
