Herb of the Month: Revisiting Damiana
Let’s revisit the magic and medicine of Damiana (Turnera diffusa)! This warming, aromatic herb has been one of my most popular topics, and I hope you find this deep dive just as engaging and helpful.
Native to Mexico and the arid regions of Central and South America, Damiana has a rich history as an aphrodisiac and a tonic for endurance—especially during long journeys. I chose Damiana as February’s herb of the month because it speaks to the heart of what this season represents: love, connection, and intimacy. But not just romantic love—Damiana also encourages a deeper relationship with ourselves.
How to Make Damiana Tea:
🌿 Add 1 teaspoon of dried Damiana to 2 cups of hot water
🌿 Steep 5 to 7 minutes, covered
🌿 Strain and add a splash of plant-based milk to balance its drying qualities
Sip your tea, take a moment to journal, and tune into how you feel—both physically and emotionally.
