Damiana

[bighooter]

Anyone used this supplement?

I want to use Damiana because I am constantly lethargic and fatigued.
I have no sex drive and am constantly anxious.

From what ive read Damiana tablets supposedly cure all my problems.

I was just wondering whether it would be worth trying or a waste of money?

"Cure" is a strong word. Damiana is very subtle. I've drank the tea and smoked it.

It's a very light, clear, grounding "high." It improves focus, mental presence, which in turn I think reduces anxiety a tad.

If your anxiety level is high, it will probably only make a dent in it. Better take the damiana and ALSO work on making yourself less anxious through other means, such as meditation, or finding out what exactly is making you anxious and eliminating/changing them.

For fatigue, it might not do much. Don't get your hopes up. I'm sure you'll have better luck with vitamins (especially Bs), fish oil, a healthy diet (lots of vegetables, less junk, sugar, carbs), exercise, etc.

Good luck and report back!

it will probably help. However, what is your diet like? I would examine that first.

as the two posts above say definately look into your diet first, it truely is amazing on how much a healthy diet + excercise can balance your life out.
i went through a big stint on damiana whilst suffering anxiety in previous times, the damiana helped me ease into a more relax state but it no where near cured me.
i did/do find damiana to be a good aphrodisiac tho, i made my own blend of the commonly known love potion containing a double stregnth serve of tea containing an extra 2 teaspoons of honey, together on a regular basis this should help your libido.

damiana is also used as a mixer for people that smoke pot, should that be up your alley perhaps give it a go!!
good luck with damiana, im definately a fan of it
