Damiana leaves, drunk in the form of a tea. The herb is supposed to be especially effective in women. Damiana is a tonic and restorative and has always been considered an aphrodisiac. Its tonic action is partly due to the constituent, thymol.

It is, however, beneficial for both men and women, being considered restorative. Damiana is often given for painful and delayed periods, and is used specifically for headaches connected to menstruation in Mexico.
