DAMIANA |
|
|
|
Damiana can help put
you in the mood |
|
|
Damiana
is known for its ability to
increase circulation to
genital and abdominal areas.
It is used as an aphrodisiac
and energy tonic. It
also helps with conditions
brought on by low levels of
sex hormones. |
Natural health
practitioners may
recommend damiana
for low libido from
all causes including
menopause,
exhaustion and
stress, and for male
impotence due to age
or fatigue.
Damiana can be
purchased as a raw
herb, encapsulated
herb, tincture or
fluid extract.
Combination products
for sexual
enhancement,
especially for
females, may contain
damiana.
Damiana binds with
iron and stops the
absorption of it in
the intestines.
Take iron
supplements away
from Damiana.
Damiana alters
hormone levels and
should not be used
in pregnancy. |
