Benefits of Eating Damiana Herb

Damiana (turnera aphrodisiaca) is an aromatic, flowering herb which has gained the reputation both in herbal remedy and in hip social events for turning up the heat or enhancing the mood. Unlike many other herbal products marketed as aphrodisiacs and natural Viagra. There’s a lot of scientific research to back up damiana’s claims for revving up libido and sexual performance.

Damiana can be used in various forms as an addition to food, taken in the form of capsules, liquid extract, and herbal tea. Taken alone or in preparation with other herbs, it offers a number of benefits.

Damiana as an Aphrodisiac 

In Mexico, people have used Damiana for centuries, as an aphrodisiac for both men and women. This wonderful herb functions as a sexual stimulant helping to boost libido, and also enhancing sexual pleasure.

The results of a 2009 study by Mexico’s National Institute of Psychiatry supports the use of Damiana as an aphrodisiac. It also points to the herb’s possible therapeutic properties in the treatment of sexual dysfunction. This pro-sexual effect of Damiana is attributed to the compounds called flavonoids.

Another study from the University of Buenos Aires, in Argentina, stated that damiana can improve male sexual dysfunction it does this by relaxing the small muscles in the arteries of the penis. When the arteries are relaxed they widen and allow more blood to pass through them, resulting in a harder and stronger erection. 

Damiana can resolve Impotence

Damiana is also used as a sexual remedy for treating impotence in men or erectile dysfunction (ED). The condition of erectile dysfunction is categorized by a consistent inability to achieve or sustain an erection, premature ejaculation, or both. Damiana helps to alleviate these symptoms by increasing blood flow to the genital area during sexual stimulation, facilitating erections.

Damiana may help to deal with Frigidity

Female suffering from frigidity, to treat the condition herbalists prescribe Damiana which has been proven to resolve frigidity. Damiana herb has a similar mechanism of increasing blood circulation in the genital area, therefore enhancing the sensitivity of the clitoris, and intensifying sexual pleasure.

In a published report, Damiana is said to revive sex drive in women going through premenopausal and menopausal stages of life, by replenishing depleted testosterone levels. By stimulating testosterone, the hormone behind both men and women’s sex drives, Damiana helps to restore sexual desire and performance.

Damiana used as Mood Enhancer

If you are tired and suffering from low mood or stress, damiana herbs also work as a mood enhancer this helping to alleviate anxiety, stress and mild depression in both men and women. Another reason to take Damiana herb as a supplement and as there are little-known side effects it can be considered so much better than resorting to conventional anti-depressants which can have other side effects.  As always I would advise seeking medical guidance before taking any herbal remedies in-case it interferes with pre-existing medical conditions or prescribed medications.

Summary

Eating healthy is important for all of us, I would suggest that along with healthy eating one should also look to supplement with herbal remedies when required.  One can choose to use Damiana as an Aphrodisiac to enhance sexual desire and performance, while if you feel a little down why not consider taking herbal capsule form of Damiana as Mood Enhancer, get you back up and revving.
