The Passion Potion

Damiana Essential Oil is sourced from Mexico, from the Turnera Diffusa plant, a small flowering shrub, which can be found in Southern Texas through Central and South America.

Historically it was used by the Aztecs and Mayans as a tea to help with sleep, reduce stress, and uplift sexual energy. 

Using it both topically and aromatically, Damiana Essential Oil is connected to the sacral chakra as it has been shown to help with libido, frigidity, and impotence with an uplifting effect by increasing circulation and sensitivity to sex organs. 

Celebrate with Damiana

Damiana Essential Oil is an oil of celebration. It uplifts, inspires, and helps us connect at a higher level with ourselves, our relationships, and our environment.

Through these lifted connections, we can celebrate life, our inventions, and our passions with greater ease and joy.

Here’s some trivia for your next game night: Damiana is thought to be part of the original recipe for the Margarita cocktail!

The citrusy chamomile-like essence was likely used in the place of something like Triple Sec. Yum! Damiana was also part of the original recipe for Coca-Cola. Pemberton’s French Wine Coco was a medicinal beverage that contained wine, damiana, cocaine, and kola nuts.

This concoction was sold as a cure for nerve trouble, digestive issues, headaches, and, most notably, as an “invigorator of the sexual organs.” It’s Party Time!

Aztec Link to Damiana Essential Oil 

Damiana Essential Oil is linked to the Aztec fertility god and goddess’. 

Damiana, being native to Mexico, has been widely used in traditional medicine for its potential health benefits. Amongst these, it is often associated with fertility and sexual health. The plant's link to the Aztec fertility gods and goddesses likely originates from its use in traditional Mexican culture as an aphrodisiac and a treatment for various reproductive issues.

The Aztecs had several deities associated with fertility, including Xochiquetzal, the goddess of fertility, love, and beauty, and Xipe Totec, the god of agriculture and fertility. Damian's properties align with the domains these gods and goddesses represent.
