It has been used for centuries by indigenous peoples of Mexico — particularly the Maya — as a tonic herb for the reproductive system, a mood-lifting nervine, and one of the most celebrated traditional aphrodisiacs in the Americas. Spanish missionaries documented its use as a love herb as early as the 17th century, and it has been used ever since to make traditional lovers’ teas, flavoured wines, and the famous Mexican damiana liqueur. Damiana’s key active compounds include flavonoids, terpenoids (including thymol and cineole), gonzalitosin, arbutin, and damianin — a compound unique to the plant. These compounds are believed to work together to support healthy libido and sexual function, ease nervous tension and anxiety, lift mood, and support the body’s response to stress. As a nervine herb, damiana has a gentle stimulating and mood-elevating effect — distinct from sedating nervines like valerian or passionflower — making it particularly useful for those experiencing low energy, low mood, or nervous exhaustion alongside reduced libido.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho is this for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThose wanting to try damiana for the first time before committing to a larger size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThose wanting to support healthy libido and sexual vitality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople experiencing low mood, nervous exhaustion, or stress-related fatigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThose wanting a gentle mood-lifting and energising nervine herb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone wanting a traditional, aromatic herbal tea with a rich cultural history\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThose making herbal teas, tinctures, cordials, or liqueurs in smaller batches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTurnera diffusa\u003c\/em\u003e leaf — cut and sifted — 606mg per 1 tsp serving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional aphrodisiac — supports healthy libido and sexual vitality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMood-lifting nervine — gently stimulating and uplifting, not sedating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports the nervous system — eases nervous tension, anxiety, and exhaustion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditionally used to support urinary tract health\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMild digestive tonic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAromatic, pleasantly flavoured — warm, slightly bitter, herbal with spicy notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong used to make lovers’ teas, cordials, and flavoured wines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrown in Mexico — traditional source region\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKosher certified, non-irradiated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepackaged from bulk by SuperfoodsNZ — same premium Frontier quality in a convenient 100g resealable pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100g — approximately 165 servings — ideal for first-time use or occasional use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBy Frontier Natural Products — trusted organic herbs since 1976\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSupplement facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServing size: 1 tsp (606mg) | Approximately 165 servings per 100g container\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDamiana leaf (\u003cem\u003eTurnera diffusa\u003c\/em\u003e, cut): 606mg per serving.
