Damiana has been used to produce a feeling of well-being, and also to increase sexual desire, in women with less than satisfying sex lives due to trauma.
Clinical studies show that Damiana inhibits (blocks) aromatase, an enzyme that promotes the synthesis of estrogen in the body. Damiana has been used to support healthy blood, digestion, and existing good pulmonary health.
