Damiana is native to the hot, dry regions of Mexico and Central and South America. These regions are characterized by arid, rocky soils and a hot, dry climate with limited rainfall. Not many plants thrive in those conditions, however, Damiana is one such species. Its ability to grow in rugged soils has made it an important part of the traditional medicine and cultural heritage of the region. The Mayans held Damiana in high regard, and it became more widely utilized when the Guaycura people of the Baja region of Mexico began trading with the Aztecs, which led to the herb’s dissemination throughout the rest of the Americas.
As Damiana grows in the arid deserts, its roots stretch deep into the earth, where they draw up the heat and energy of the sun-baked soil. The herb’s leaves bask in the scorching sun, soaking up its fiery rays and transforming them into the warm and invigorating energy that makes Damiana a beloved yang nourishing herb.
