🌿 Damiana

Double Extracted Flower Essence – 2 oz
Nervous system | Desire | Divine rest

🌼 Overview

Damiana (Turnera diffusa) is a golden-flowered shrub native to the dry, sunny regions of Mexico and Central America. Historically revered by the Maya and Aztec peoples as a sacred aphrodisiac, damiana was traditionally brewed into teas and elixirs to invoke sensual connection, emotional balance, and spiritual vitality.

Today, this plant continues to be celebrated for its tonifying effect on the nervous system, its ability to ease menstrual and emotional tension, and its gentle yet profound enhancement of libido, pleasure, and presence.
