Damiana is native to the lower parts of North America and central parts of South America. Specific areas include places such as Texas, Mexico, and Central America in general, as well as the West Indies. It’s Latin name, Turnera aphrodisiaca, helps to describe the main use for the plant i.e. a powerful aphrodisiac.

A lot more research has been done on the herb since it’s ancient use. The results have helped to shed some light on why it’s so effective at treating a wide variety of health issues. Damiana contains large amounts of 1,8 cineole, thymol, alpha, and beta-pinene. These all have an effect on the central nervous system. This means that when the herb is used in its raw form or the chemical components of the plant are extracted in hot water and used as a tea, the active phytochemicals can have a more direct effect on your body. They work to relieve the symptoms associated with your particular ailment in a shorter space of time. 

Damiana Herb Health Benefits Explained 

Damiana has long been touted as a natural cure-all. You can use it to help treat a wide variety of symptoms. It’s generally used to help treat anxiety, stress, sleeplessness, and mild pain (most often associated with a migraine). You can also use it to treat issues regarding menopause, lowering blood pressure, and helping to prevent the onset of diabetes. The herb is most often used in tea form as this is the easiest and quickest way to deliver the plant-based chemicals directly to your bloodstream. If you don’t like the tea you can take it in supplement form. 

The reason for damiana’s impressive healing potential is due to the vast array of phytochemicals that are contained in the plant’s leaves, stems, and flowers. The combination of these volatile natural antioxidants and phytochemicals makes damiana leaf highly effective. Most of the components have a direct effect on various parts of the central nervous system and can, therefore, relieve the symptoms of many different health issues. Especially those related to stress, anxiety, and high blood pressure levels.

Drinking damiana leaf tea has been the principal method of utilizing the plant’s most potent phytochemical extracts. This is due to the warm water’s ability to help release and store the chemical components of the plant in a more concentrated form. As with most herbs and plants, hot water helps unlock the phytochemicals through the cooking process. 

Damiana tea, in particular, is a popular health remedy and has been utilized for many years by people from both ancient and modern cultures. The herb possesses mild sedative effects. This is because it contains high levels of  1,8 cineole, thymol, and both alpha and beta-pinenes. This enables the tea to help induce healthy sleeping patterns and reduce high blood pressure. It can also help to lower stress levels commonly associated with anxiety.
