[top]Introduction to Damiana

Order: Malpighiales
Family: Passifloraceae
Genus: Turnera
Species: Turnera diffusa



Damiana is a shrub native to Central America which blooms in early to late summer with small yellow flowers. Due to its aromatic essential oils and mildly sedating effects, it has been used as a calming tea, which has been said to be not too dissimilar to chamomile.
More recently, a resinous extract is made from the herb and used as a substrate with which synthetic cannabinoids are mixed.
