Damiana Benefit (Turnera diffusa and Turnera aphrodisiaca) is a medicinal plant that is native to the southern United States (especially Texas), Central America and South America. This herb is technically a small shrub that produces yellow flowers. It’s a member of the plant family called Turneraceae and goes by many names around the world, such as Mexican holly, damiana aphrodisiaca, damiane, feuille de damiana and herba de la pastora.

1. Mood Enhancement and Stress Reduction

2. Can Help Increase Libido/Sex Drive

There’s some evidence that supplementing with a combination of damiana, L-arginine, American ginseng, Panax ginseng and ginkgo may be most helpful for supporting sexual satisfaction. This combination is used by many to help increase orgasm frequency and to reduce vaginal dryness (a common complaint among menopausal women), according to WebMD. Studies also show that in terms of chemical composition, damiana is very similar to another herbal aphrodisiac called yohimbe bark.

3. May Help Fight Prevent and Diabetes

According to a study published in the Journal of Enthopharamacology referenced above, not only does damiana have anti-obesity effects, but it also possesses antidiabetic, antioxidant, adapatogenic, antispasmodic and gastroprotective activities that may help reduce the risk for many chronic diseases. In certain animal studies, T. diffusa has been shown to have antioxidant properties that may prevent kidney damage and diabetes induced by mitochondrial oxidative stress.

4. May Fight Infections Damiana has been shown to act as a natural anti-inflammatory agent, expectorant (it helps to open up the airways and stop coughs) and immunomodulator. There’s evidence that T. diffusa can be used to treat otitis (ear aches/ear infections) and nephritis (inflammation of the kidneys).

Women who suffer from severe PMS symptoms, such as cramps and mood swings, may benefit from using damiana leaf throughout their menstrual cycles. Damiana may also help alleviate headaches, muscle aches and stomach pains. Since it has relaxant and digestive stimulating effects, a historical use of damiana was drinking it to help release the muscles in the GI tract in order to reduce constipation, bloating and abdominal pain.

Recommended Dosage:

There’s not yet much formal research available suggesting what the optimal dosage of damiana is. The dosage you should use depends on what symptoms or condition you are trying to treat, as well as your body size and gender — males and people with a higher body mass usually require larger doses.

The recommended dosage is about 500–1000 milligrams per day, usually split into 2 divided doses.

Risks and Side Effects Although damiana seems to be safe when used in small to moderate amounts, high doses have been associated with certain serious side effects in some cases. It’s recommended that women who are pregnant or nursing avoid using damiana since there isn’t yet research showing that it is safe in these situations. If you are diabetic, commonly experience hypoglycemia, have recently undergone surgery, are taking pain-killing medications or are taking insulin or antidiabetic drugs, then avoid using it. Always speak with your doctor first about whether it may be safe to use if any of these situations apply to you.

As is the case with taking any supplement while you are pregnant or breastfeeding or taking medication, you should always consult with your healthcare professional prior to usage.
