Ancient Aphrodisiac

Damiana is said to help enhance sexual health and treat a vast array of symptoms from diabetes to anxiety.

WARNING: Pregnant and nursing mothers should not consume damiana, nor should people with liver issues. In high doses, damiana is said to cause hallucinations. If you experience hallucinations while taking damiana, keep calm and get medical help as quickly as possible.

A general guide is to take 2 to 4 grams (g) or less of dried damiana in tea or capsule form with meals, three times a day. Individual experiences will vary, but hallucinations have been reported at doses of 200 g.
