Damiana can be found growing wild throughout the southern United States, South America and the West Indies. It is a small shrub with yellow flowers and long, broad, light green leaves. The flowers have an aromatic scent with a warm, bitter camphor-like taste. Damiana was named 'mizib-coc' (meaning plant of asthma) by the Mayan Indians of Yucatan, but the herb's legendary reputation is noted by the second part of its botanical name ‘aphrodisiaca.’

Today, Damiana is renowned for its effects and holds a special place in Mexican folklore and medicine.

The use of mint is documented in the Bible and in herbal manuals of ancient apothecaries. In those times, mint was a different plant closely related to the bland “horse mint” or “wild mint.” It is only through thousands of years of horticulture that we now have such a potently aromatic and invigorating herb as Spearmint.

Spearmint is appreciated chiefly for its high oil content and “double mint” flavour. We owe a debt of gratitude to our forbearers for giving us this wonderful and luscious plant.
