Damiana (Turnera diffusa)
Compound Type: Aphrodisiac / Mild Anti-Aromatase
Damiana is a wild shrub native to Mexico and Central America. For centuries, it has been used as a tea to treat “sexual sluggishness” and fatigue. In the modern male enhancement landscape, it serves a dual purpose: boosting libido and calming the nervous system.
Unlike stimulants (like Caffeine) which constrict blood vessels, Damiana induces a mild state of relaxation (euphoria). This makes it particularly effective for men whose erectile dysfunction is rooted in performance anxiety or stress.
How Does Damiana Affect Penis Size?
Damiana supports penis enlargement by optimizing the hormonal environment and removing the “brakes” (anxiety) that stop you from getting a 100% quality erection.
The Science: Anti-Estrogen & Relaxation
1. Anti-Aromatase Activity:
Studies involving Damiana extracts (specifically pinocembrin) have shown potential anti-aromatase activity. Aromatase is the enzyme that converts your precious Testosterone into Estrogen. By inhibiting this, Damiana helps maintain higher Free Testosterone levels.
2. The “Stage Fright” Cure:
Anxiety releases adrenaline, which instantly kills an erection (vasoconstriction). Damiana is a known nervine—it relaxes the central nervous system without putting you to sleep. This allows for better blood flow during intimacy or PE exercises.
3. Oxygen Delivery:
Historically, Damiana was used to treat asthma because it relaxes the smooth muscles of the respiratory system. This same mechanism helps relax the smooth muscle of the arteries, facilitating easier blood flow to the genitals.
✔ The Verdict: MOOD SUPPORT
The “Relaxed” Erection. We recommend Damiana for men who suffer from high stress or performance anxiety. It is not a powerhouse growth agent on its own, but it is an excellent “support” herb to stack with Zinc and Citrulline to keep your testosterone high and your nerves calm.
