Anyone ever heard of, or used, Damiana? - Peggy - ************************************************************************** ~Newsgroups: alt.folklore.herbs,rec.gardens ~Subject: Re: seed catalogs? The effects DAMIANA had on me (after one rolled ciggerette of it) is a mild dreamy headrush with a little giggling, also points of light seem to sparkle a little. It tastes like peppermint when smoked and just tasstes the basic plant type 'green' when made into tea. Oh also I have asthma and when my inhaler isn't working good or I've used it to much I smoke a DAMIANA and it prvides great breathing relief for about an hour. Like valarian, it isn't good to use it to much because you quickly build a tolerance, but after 2 days or so it's effect can be felt. R and A Adventures - Total Health P.O. Box 66 Frankfort, N.Y. 13340 It should be around 5 buck for a forth ounce, don't ever pay less or get more for that or you know you got junk probably picked of the side of the highway or full of spidermite web. I've fully enjoyed DAMIANA.... DAMIANA NOTE!!!! In my last few qoutes about DAMIANA I failed to mention that there are a few people who do get sick from it. It is best to try a puff or a sip of it and wait a half hour to see if you get sick, If not your alright. ALSO!, for damiana tea, use only 1 teaspoon of DAMIANA (and 1 teas of suger if you like) if you make it to strong it is horrible. The tea relaxes you, the oppisite (sp?) of smoking it. Also I beleive that is has NO aphrodisiac effects....
