Damiana for Natural Aphrodisiac

If you want to be desirable and delightful to your partner, try a bit of damiana.  Just one more thing we are hearing about as we lead up to the Mayan Prophecy of 2012, because damiana tea and liqueur was used a lot by the Mayans for sexual enhancement.

Damiana has been shown to slow down the digestive tract and rush oxygen to male and female genitals.  Men who ingest this plant, which is native all around Mexico, have been found to achieve erection faster and maintain one longer. Women who ingest Damiana find it to be a helpful lubricant and an aid in achieving orgasm during intercourse.

There’s more to the natural health benefits of damiana than just sexual enhancement.  Decreased lethargy and increased energy levels result, as well as helping in such digestive disorders as irritable bowel syndrome and nervous dyspepsia – and hey, if those things aren’t bothering you and you have sex, it’ll probably be a more pleasurable experience, don’t you think?

Damiana - Natural Sex Enhancer

If you happen to be lucky enough to live in Mexico where damiana grows in the wild plentifully and is used to counteract the effects of over-exertion from heavy manual and physical labor, you can brew up some Damiana tea and see what else you can brew up!

Measure 1-2 heaping tsp. of dried damiana leaves, and place them into a clean coffee mug, or other safe drinking container

Boil one cup of water in small saucepan or tea kettle on the stove top. Remove from heat and pour the boiling water into the mug, over the dried damiana leaves

Allow the damiana tea to steep for 15-20 minutes. Strain the tea into a clean coffee mug, or another drinking container.  Throw out the leaves.

Add a teaspoon of pure, raw honey or agave syrup to sweeten the damiana tea, if desired (sugar is not suitable for this).

Damiana Tea for Nervous Exhaustion

Use a lemon wedge with the damiana tea if you’d like and drink immediately. For sexual enhancement with damiana, you might need to drink the tea over several days or even weeks before you see the desired results.
