Suggested Products: Damiana
Our last post discussed the beauty of Damiana and its properties having intertwined themes with the current season.
As an aphrodisiac, Damiana is mainly known for assisting in increasing blood flow to the male and female sex organs, consequently improving libido and the potency and frequency of orgasms.
We’d like to share some of our favorite Damiana products with you for you to experience the benefits yourself.
*Please note for ingested dosages - it’s advisable to start low to observe effects and gradually increase. Please listen to your body’s judgement and take at your discretion especially if you have certain medical conditions, are breastfeeding/pregnant.
We are not doctors and these are not medical statements. We encourage every individual, since we all have different needs and physicalities, to please do their own research before integrating these remedies into your own life.
For topical products - please test on a small patch of skin before full application. *
For dried herbs:
The usual dosage would be 2-4 grams (1-2 tblespoons) of dried herb 2-3 times a day
You may purchase the dried herb to steep in tea.
It’s quite easy to brew the herb in a tea strainer or to purchase natural empty drawstring filter bags to be filled (try to find unbleached tea bags.)
The herb itself has a slightly sweet, slightly bitter yet very earthy flavor.
If you’re adventurous - we recommend adding it in a blend for Yoni Steaming
