I currently take damiana for menstural disorders; do you have anything relating to women on this subject. Thank you

I found this product to do little except irritate me... by the end of the day I felt unbalanced and pissed off.

i smoke damiana all the time it does me no harm,it`s a fantastic plant.It helps relax my mind if i`m anxious,and it`s good for mild depression,and it`s better than smoking tobacco.

can you please tell me what to do about my yeast infection that will not go away
whole again
Over the past year I have experienced many sexual complications ranging from pain and dryness to lack of libido. Dr.'s were unable to offer any solutions, so I started taking Damiana and Black Cohosh a couple of weeks ago and I am finally normal again...sex drive is threw the roof. I'm planning to try this product next and hope for similar results.

ayanic,
With regard to your yeast infection, try getting plenty of sunshine and air directly on effected area daily, wear only cotton under wear or none at all. Take spirulini and cordyceps. Apply prescription cortizone cream and no sex for two weeks. Clean well after intercourse. Keep it dry as much as possible.

ayanic,
"Yeast infections" are not actually infections. The discomfort you are experiencing is caused by an imbalance of the natural "good" bacteria in your system. These so-called infections often flare up after a course of prescription antibiotics. Replenish the good bacteria in your body with a daily serving of plain yogurt. If you are not used to yogurt, the taste may at first seem sour to you...mix in some fresh fruit and persevere...after a while you won't miss the sweetened varieties. While you are at it, cut way back in any processed sugars in your diet.
May your discomfort soon be a faint memory!

Have never had any negative effects...that other person was probably already messed-up in attitude, it certainly wasn't this plant that did it. Mild relaxant, pleasant in taste and aroma, useful in cooking, too.

I just smoked Damiana for the first time last night. I thought it was excellent. Very smooth smoke didn't make me cough (pot almost always does), and an obvious high that was easier to control than a pot high. My girlfriend kind've freaked out on it so I had to keep her together and was still capable of doing so even though I was definitely buzzed. Highly recommended and dirt cheap!
anon
ayanic, not sure what this thread has to do with damiana, but what the hell-have you gotten checked to make sure that's what you actually have? I had the same problem kinda, &just found out yesterday that the reason yeast infection treatments weren't working was bc what I actually had was bacterial vaginosis, a similar and equally-common overgrowth of gardnerella bacteria that, like yeast, are always present but get out of hand when there's a pH imbalance. just throwing it out there cuz I've experienced the frustration of treating the wrong thing 1st hand! good luck

I have smoked 100% damiana purchased at a smoke shop for $14.99 for 1 gram and I have loved it. I bought 4 oz of damiana on ebay for $11 and smoked it, and felt nothing.
Does anybody know the difference? Same plant, obviously, I compared them, but one made me feel something the other didn't. Help?!?

I have bought over and over again Damiana. It has been very effective for me as a mild anti depressant, euphoria and just a general sense of calm and well being. taste of the smoke is relaxing as well, especially if mixed with a mint, or flavored tobacco , such as hookah!!! No negative effects as of yet!

ive been smoking damiana extract alot recently, and ive been having a very sharp chest pain that hits randomly and is very short.. does anyone know anything about it?
berny
mrtoes..Me thinks you got Damiana with an atrificial cannibinoid. ,hence the "high" . 14.99 stuff was probably laced hot JWH-018, a very powerful legal substance for now.

i usta smoke weed for year but after awhile it messed with my head,i suffer from depression and get very anxious i wanna try damiana i hear it can help with these problems but wen i smoke weed i freek out,so i dont want the same ta happen,will it?
rudy
i was just wondering if anyone knows how to make the leaves more potent or concentrated

I've happily smoked pot for 20 years and just recently tried some Damiana from a smoke shop. Wow, what a joy. it has all the positive effects as mentioned above like euphoria, calmness, physically warming and relieves anxiety. Yet it doesn't have the negative effects marijuana has like getting tired (burnt out), cloudy thoughts, loss of memory and memory recall etc. After 20 years of smoking pot, I find Damiana superior, but thats only part of this story.
Because of the cost from the smoke shop ($18.00 an gram) I found some Damiana at an bulk herb shop at $1.40 an ounce. it was junk. Though it smelled and looked very close, I could have smoked it nonstop and it would have never produced effects anything like the smoke shop product.
I then bought almost a pound online for $50.00. This turned out to be in potency rather low, but it was somewhere between the 2 previous products.
So what is the difference? Quality? Seemed logical. Anyone that has smoked a good cigar and a bad cigar, or has gotten a nasty hangover from cheap champagne knows that quality effects your overall experience. As with marijuana, anyone who's smoked pot in the 70's and still does knows that pot today is so much more potent. And this is not just a percentage like proof is to alcohol. Smoking an ounce of rag weed isn't going to produce the same effect as a couple hits of high grade. it's simply impossible. So back to Damiana.
The one thing I noticed about the smoke shop damiana was that it was darker with more stems when the leaf is the best part. At that point, I made my best guess which was this product was sprayed or soaked in damiana extract. So I went to work at extracting, after all I had almost a pound of the stuff.
First was a boiling water extracting like tea, boiling it down to a tar. Then I used vodka with heat, then I did a cold vodka extract (24 hours, not the 6 weeks recommended ). Then I'd mix some leaf with the extract and smoke it. There it was, those wonderful effects i had felt with the smoke shop product.
I now use acetone with a week soaking period. then I filter it thru a coffee filter and then let the acetone evaporate off. This oil doesn't burn well at all and so it needs a base that smokes, like the damiana leaf or tobacco. I wouldn't use marijuana or you will feel those negative effects from marijuana that damiana does not have.
I hope to hear from others on this and I'm still searching for the highest quality damiana and best extracting processes out there.

Well I have been smoking weed for 20+ years and today have tried damiana for the first time. Let me tel you that I will never go looking for weed again!!!! I purchased 1 gram for $17 from my local smoke shop as a trial while I was waiting for the bud man to come through. After getting home and smoking one small bowl with a friend to try it out to see what all the hype was about and instantly felt the wonderful euphoric sensation that continued for over an hour and a half. I intentionally didn't smoke any more just to see how long it would last. As explained by Dogpound the benefits most definitely out way those of weed. And thank you for the extract tips. I will most definitely try them out.

I was told damiana is use for sex drive. I am a 55 years old Malaysian woman and would like to increase my sex drive. Can any body let me know where can I buy damiana in Malaysia? Tq for the info

To ayannicm, with the yeastie-beasties: I used to have a like issue, and found that Acidophilis pills helped immensely. It's basically a super-dose of probiotics, like what you'd get with a gallon of yogurt. I've noticed that after my period and (this may sound strange but) after a weekend of heavy beer drinking, the symptoms arise. I take a double dose of acidophilis for the next few days and BAM, all better! :)

I have been smoking marijuana for 3 years . 90 % of what I smoke is top quality kush or chronic. I am diagnosed with bi - polar and for the first time I can truly relax. Granted I wish the taste of damiana was as smooth as kush and it is a little rough on my throat . With damiana I can smoke this without the worry of carrying something illegal. Until marijuana becomes legal I will continue buying DAMIANA . I thank the GODS for MARIJUANA and now DAMIANA It relaxed me better than anything besides HASH ( which gave me serious parinoia ) I FEEL NO SIDE-EFFECTS . I HAD TO TAKE IT EASY THOUGH . It hit me hard . THE NAME ON THE BOTTLE I BOUGHT IN A LAS VEGAS SMOKE SHOP FOR $ 20 WAS .....SPICE . IF U R TIRED OF NOT GETTING MARIJUANA WHEN U WANT IT OR THE FACT IT IS ILLEGAL THEN TRY DAMANIA.... peace , LOVE , AND PLANTS FROM THE GODS ...

miss havok ... yeasti beasties will show up after your period because your immune system can be challenged with anemia if you flow heavy and for greater than 5 days, also after heavy beer drinking, and if you drink dark beer greater chance, beer is high in fermentation / sugar, high sugar decreases the stomach flora "good bugs", you might also try Colloidal Silver which is another probiotic that can be used topically and internally (earaches, small cuts, athlete's foot, warts, colds, sinus and yes helps the intestinal flora) ... hope this helps. Blessed Be

I suffer from Migraines and the Doctors cannot help me without the use of narcotics. I tried this and I have not noticed any ill effects from smoking this herb and IT IS LEGAL The pain subsided rather quickly and my sences seemed to be heightened to some degree, both sight and hearing . I want to try growing it so I can control the potency which can vary. Anyone know where I can get the seeds to start?
420Daily
I recently tried Damiana and I have to say I get blazed just like Chronic Bud which I been Smoking Daily for years, as to any negative effects I will let you know, someone gave me some to try and I enjoyed it so instead of buying bud I went for the legal alternative chronic prices pretty much 1.5 grams for $25, but we will see after a week if it does any harm check back in a week for an update.
swagg teezy

mamonkey
I have to say i was shocked by this product. i have to know if will the general public will frown on it and say its too mind altering or accept it and ignore it? cause the time is coming
smee
Dogpound could u post some more extract tips I can't make acetone brake down my leaf what am I doing wrong it made a dark colored liquid but when I filterd it their was nothing there just acetone soaked filter plz help
MtnG
Most of you idiots aren't getting high on Damiana, you're getting high on synthetic cannibinoids found in blends like spice, etc. Damiana leaf costs several dollars per ounce not $20 a gram.
MCCADE
Damiana does work, I use it in a filtered cigarette maker sleeve, less harsh.
It is very relaxing. Last about an hour. Read that some negative side affects are iron absorpsion slows and messes with blood sugar levels, so if your diabetic check with your doctor and monitor your iron levels. You can get a pound for 15.00 on Amazon and it is pretty good, leaves and flowers in a bag.
LIke anything to much can be bad, do your research on effects good and bad.

re: mr toes
the reason your damiana from the head shop gave you a high similiar to pot is because the 100% damiana is sprayed with a synthetic cannaboid called jwh 018
$un$hyne
After not smoking weed for six years i tried smoking Damiana and the effect that I got from it was better than smoking weed. I was in chill mode and boy was I blazed. It had my sister trippin out in a negative way that almost scared the shit out of me. I had to keep her calm and hold my composure at the same time. It is proven to have different effects on some people as I have experienced first hand. Overall in my opinion Damiana is the shit. It's legal and I've read it "beneficial" in so many ways. Would I try it again YES, as for my sister I don't think so.
MrTHC
If you suffer from physical withdrawal symptoms when you run out of pot (nausea, loss of appetite, depression, fatigue), then Damiana may be helpful. It alleviates these symptoms nearly as well as the actual thing. Interestingly, other treated herbal blends not containing D are not effective at controlling these symptoms, even if they contain high levels of synthetic cannabinoids. These blends produce the unpleasant result of being stoned and dopesick at the same time. Recommended for those lean times without.
Peddler
Damiana itself causes a barely perceptible high, if any. Any "Damiana" you're buying in a smoke shop is sprayed with a synthetic cannabinoid, most likely in the JWH family. DO NOT buy it in bulk online, as it will not get you the high you're looking for, unless you treat it with JWH yourself.
As for the plant, I bought half a pound recently to make my own synthetic with, just tried the raw herb to see how it smokes, a little too much residue for my taste, felt like I needed to clean my bowl after one pack. The smoke itself is slightly harsh, no worse than the real thing though, and it tastes decent, smells like tea. I would definitely recommend smoking it out of a water bong to filter out some of the heavy particles.
Renegade210
Has anyone tested to see if they come up dirty? Even though it doesnt appear there is an THC in it, has anyone confirmed this?
SmokinQueen
just tried k3 out for the first time, throats a little scratchy...but ive been smokin pot too, i feel pretty calm, but i wanna do stuff too, typical of pot too, ill give updates in a couple of days
BigMama
If I buy Damiana via the internet will it be the same as a smoke shop. I have read no. But what can I buy then to make it as good as theirs. I also tried D-ZL and it claims to be high quality damiana so where can I get the high quality Damiana. Will this help you test clean. It is a little expensive where I get it; it is $12.00 for a small bottle that will give you about 4 bowls. Is that one mixed with other things. Anyone out there that can help me with the questions I have. I don't want to waste my money and test positive or buy bulk that is no good. All input is greatly appreciated.
dj
has anyone come up dirty on a drug test? good stuff but i need to pass a test
