damiana the wonder drug
well ive become addicted to damiana margies but had no idea of the wonders of this elixir. turns out it helps the ladies with both frigidity and loose
morals. win win?
DAMIANA. Turnera aphrodisiaca. - Synonym—Turnera diffusa.
Therapy—A mild nerve tonic claimed to be valuable in the treatment of sexual impotence. Some of our physicians praise it highly for its influence in
sexual neurasthenia, and it is said to correct frigidity in the female.
It had long enjoyed a local reputation as a stimulant tonic of the sexual apparatus among the natives of Mexico, before it attracted the attention of
the profession. Besides its peculiar action on the sexual appetite and function, it is a general tonic, somewhat cathartic, and is slightly
cholagogue.
The midwives and women of loose morals of Western Mexico also attribute emmenagogue properties to it.
It is valuable in renal and cystic catarrh and in general irritation of the urinary passages, through its influence in soothing irritation of mucous
membranes.
In the line of the action of this remedy in its influence upon the reproductive organs, Dr. Reid mentions dysmenorrhea, headache, at the menstrual
epoch, bad complexion, rough or discolored patches on the skin with acne, especially of a severe type, depending upon uterine irritation. Eruption
resembling eczema, from insufficient menstruation.
Dr. Watkins gives as its further indications, delayed or suppressed menstruation in young girls, irregularity at the beginning of menstruation,
amenorrhea in very young girls. It will certainly allay sensitiveness of the sympathetic nervous system to irritations caused by disorders of the womb
and ovaries. The remedy must be given in full doses, to accomplish these results. From five to ten grains of the extract is necessary three or four
times a day, and persisted in. The writer has been using it as suggested, and has been very well satisfied with it.

Yes, and it's wonderful! And, it's even fun to hold the container!

Truth be told, I have used this in my Margs for awhile. It has been a long time since I made a Margarita (Dr's orders) but tonight I made one. I had
to stop at 2 drinks when my Lab. Retriever, Gringo the Dingo, started to look at me funny so I swtiched back to wine.

Udo, it's good as a splash (or a small puddle) on top of a margie... but I like it as a sipper out of a very small glass! It's especially great after
eating a hardy meal.
