Ethnobotanical History: Damiana has been used for thousands of years in Latin American cultures ritualistically as a sexual stimulant. It has an ancient reputation as an aphrodisiac to increase and stimulate sexual appetite. Damiana may effect the nervous system, soothing anxiety, nervousness and mild depression and promoting a general feeling of well-being or euphoria.
Usage: Damiana can be vaped, smoked, drank as tea, or made into a liquor

- Tea - 10 to 15 grams Damiana in 1 liter water boiled softly for 5 minutes.
- Smoke - Damiana is an awesome non-addictive tobacco alternative. It can be smoked alone for a mildly euphoria or mixed in a spliff with your favorite other herbs.
- Damiana Liquor - Mix 30 grams Damiana with 1/2 liter vodka and let soak for 5 days. Sift this and let the alcohol drenched leaves soak another 5 days in 125 ml of mineral water. Strain out the liquid and filter it. Heat the water extract until just under boiling-point and mix it with half a cup of honey. Mix the alcohol extract and the water extract in a bottle and keep for a month. Pour the liquid carefully into a clean bottle. For the best results take in the evening 1 or 2 glasses an hour before the desired effect.
