HERBAL VIAGRA : DAMIANA
A Mexican entry in the viagra stakes is damiana (Turnera diffusa; syn. T. aphrodisiaca). This small aromatic bush from Texas and northern Mexico is used to flavour a liqueur by the same name. It is used in other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as candies and desserts. The tea made with the leaves is considered an aphrodisiac and tonic in Mexico, and a recent animal study provides some support. The study showed that a damiana extract boosts “copulatory performance” in sexually-sluggish or impotent rats. The percentage of rats achieving ejaculation increased while the interval between copulations decreased.
