Around half of the plants in the Turneraeace family are in the genus Turnera, including T. ulmifolia (Common name "ramgoat dashalong", one can only imagine what this is referring to) which is similar in appearance yet was traditionally used differently5 and is now widely cultivated in Africa. Damiana is a small sub-tropical shrub bearing aromatic serrated leaves and small bright yellow flowers.2,5 T. diffusa is native to southwest Texas, Mexico, Caribbean, Central America and Brazil.1 According to a variety of baby naming websites, the origin of the common name damiana is from the Old Greek daman or damia meaning "to tame or subdue." It is the feminine version of Damian and infers that Damiana is the wild one "who tames."CULTIVATION AND HARVESTINGDamiana is commonly cultivated for commerce in the Baja region of Mexico. It's native range is tropical, being hardy to zone 9, and requires dry sandy soil and a lot of sun.6 Harvest leaves in warm summer months when flower is in bloom.HISTORY AND FOLKLOREIt is believed that the indigenous Guaycura in the Baja region of Mexico were the first to use damiana. It was taken during religious ceremonies, yet eventually banned as its passion inspiring powers got out of hand. According to legend, this herb got distributed when the Guaycura started trading it with the Aztecs.3 Still today in this area, damiana is used as a flavoring for liqueur. There are several large companies located in southern Baja Mexico which distributes this beverage world-wide. The bottle is shaped like a voluptuous woman baring large breasts, full belly, and wide hips, purportedly modeled after an Incan goddess. It is said that the original margarita incorporated this liqueur rather than the standard triple-sec or orange-flavored alcoholic beverage.4 A bottle is often given as a gift to new brides and grooms.3 Damiana was also valued in the ancient Mayan civilization which spanned modern day Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Hondorus. The Maya used this plant similarly to the Aztecs and Guaycara, but also believed that it helped with balance and excessive giddiness.2 Throughout Central and South America, there are ethnobotanical reports of damiana's therapeutic qualities. In Brazil it was taken as a tea and considered a general tonic.Damiana was listed in the National Formulary from 1888 to 1947.2 Further, it was written in 1898, in King's American Dispensatory, that "Damiana has been eulogized for its positive effects, acting energetically upon the genito-urinary organs of both sexes…and upon the system at large, it exerts a tonic influence."7This desire eliciting herb invites the mind to relax and go with the flow. It helps those that are too "in their head" to re-establish a connection with their more sensual side. The leaves are used to "relieve excess mental activity and nervous debility" in Germany, and the Dutch are quite aware of this plant's ability to enhance desire.2Damiana's medicinal properties serve to uplift the spirit, improve digestion, relax the nervous system and to stimulate menstrual flow.FLAVOR NOTES AND ENERGETICSPungent herb with a fig-like flavor8HERBAL ACTIONSBitter digestive stimulant, mild purgative, diuretic, tonic (for the nervous and reproductive system) hypochondriastic (quelling hypochondria),5 laxative, stimulant,9 nervine, emmenagogue, astringent, expectorant,2,10 urinary antisepticCONSTITUENTSDamianin, resins, tannins, a variety of minerals5,10 alkaloids, cyanogenic glycosides10,11 green essential oil, thought to smell like chamomile,5 perhaps due to the apigenin13 content.

This wine was created by the same pharmacist that invented Coca-Cola, and was marketed mostly to upper class intellectuals. Characters such as Jules Verne and Arthur Conan Doyle reportedly enjoyed this brew on occasion.14T. diffusa leaves are approved for food use as a flavoring agent in the U.S. and appear in the FDA's list of substances Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS), however this plant is considered illegal, and has been since 2005, in Louisiana. This was due to reported overdoses of synthetic cannabis which consisted of a herbal blend containing Damiana. Laboratory-made, synthetic cannabinoids are added to herbal mixtures often containing damiana and sold in states where cannabis remains illegal. These fake cannabis products are extremely dangerous and should be avoided at all costs.PRECAUTIONSSpecific: No known precautions.
