The Sensual Side of Damiana

Damiana (Turnera diffusa) has been used in folk medicine for centuries in order to treat ailments such as headache, bedwetting, depression, nervous stomach, and constipation; for prevention and treatment of sexual problems; boosting and maintaining mental and physical stamina; and as an aphrodisiac.
