Xtend-Life Ingredient Damiana

Damiana Background and Benefits

Damiana is a common name for Turnera diffusa, a shrub in the passionflower family. The genus name Turnera comes from the English naturalist William Turner, who described these plants in the 16th century. Damiana originates from Central America, although its natural range extends as far north as southwestern Texas.

Damiana typically grows to a height of three to six feet. It has serrated leaves that are smooth on top and slightly hairy on the bottom. Damiana’s small yellow flowers bloom in the summer and have a strong spicy fragrance that is similar to chamomile. The small fruits have a sweet smell and taste like figs. The seed capsules contain three to six seeds.

Damiana has a long history of use in herbal medicine, especially in Mexico. The most commonly used part of the plant is the leaves, which are typically made into a tea or incense. Damiana is primarily used as an aphrodisiac in traditional herbal medicine.

Damiana extract has an especially complex composition, and its biologically active components are still being identified. Damianin is one of its most distinctive components, and other significant components in damiana include arbutin, gonzalitosin and tannin. Damiana also has essential oils such as pinene, cymol and cineol. Additional components include cyanogenic glycosides.

Uses of Damiana

The common uses of damiana generally deal with sexual health. It may also be used to manage stress, support the digestive system and maintain energy levels.
