Damiana grows wild across Mexico, and its recorded story starts there. The Maya knew the plant as mizibcoc, and in 1699 the Spanish missionary Juan María de Salvatierra wrote of people in Mexico preparing a sweetened Damiana drink, valued for its reputation in love.

Love this product. Thank you
I just bought a new lot but it's making me cough so im.glad I have a bit of this one left Perfect as always.
Damiana is my go to, that's why I took the plunge and got the large amount this time but this batch is really harsh. It's making me cough through the night quit a bit too which is also unusual. I wasn't sure it was the Damiana at first so I tried my other two on their own but they were both great as always. So I'm a bit bummed that this lot is unsuitable for smoking but I can make a tea out of it so thank goodness for that! 👍🏾!!
Acquired the 90g in the foil lined paper bag, cracked it open it was so aromatically fresh and bright, I don't think it could have been prepared any better as it was still dried properly. Wonderful gift thanks.
The best mixture to mull and is alright to smoke
