Yes, it is a natural aphrodisiac but in the right quantities it also helps with anxiety, sleep, nervousness and helps balance hormones.
Bobbi -
thank you for responding back to my question. I will do some research.

I searched Damiana and below is what I found. I would be very carefull taking this. Click on the link at the bottom for more information.
Damiana is a relatively small shrub that produces small, aromatic flowers. It blossoms in early to late summer and is followed by fruits that taste very similarly to figs. The shrub is said to have an odor somewhat like chamomile or Cannabis sativa, due to an oil present in the plant. The leaves have traditionally been made into a tea which was used by native people of Central and South America for its reputed aphrodisiac effects. Spanish missonaries first recorded that the Mexican Indians drank Damiana tea mixed with sugar for its ability to enhance lovemaking.

what is damiana? it sounds like something i need.
Hi Giget - How old are you (if you don;t mind me asking)? You say you had a child 3 years ago so I don;t know if you're a younger or older mom. I have a friend that had her last child at 34 and started early menopause the very next year. Soy Isolflavones, Black Cohosh and Motherwort seem to help me a lot with the hot flashes. Give good ole Damiana a try for the sex drive - it really works! Hope this helps.
