Damiana tea

Damiana is well-known in alternative medicine for it’s alleged aphrodisiac benefits. Derived from Central and South America, it is believed to treat a variety of ailments, most notably mild cases of constipation and to boost libido. The dried leaves used to make tea can be purchased at natural health stores or ordered online.


For impatient tea lovers there are also regular tea bag versions available.

Personally I always prefer leaf tea to tea bags, although it takes more time and energy. Therefore a little remider for thouse who choose damiana leaf tea:

- cover 1-2 teaspoons of dried damiana leaves with boiling water

- allow the damiana tea to steep for 15-20 minutes

- add honey, sugar or/and lemon slice if desired and enjoy!
