History

Damiana is a small shrub native to Central and South America. Its leaves were first recognized for their significant uses by the Mayans, who employed Damiana as an aphrodisiac and a mood enhancer. Its use wasn't just confined to the Mayans; various indigenous cultures across these regions found both medicinal and ceremonial uses for the plant. In modern times, it has been creatively incorporated into various culinary and beverage concoctions, from chocolates to cocktails.
