Some people report feelings of mild euphoria. Damiana is often combined with saw palmetto in formulas that address male prostate health.

Damiana Side Effects: Damiana leaf tea may lower blood sugars, but tinctures do not. Since one of the traditional uses of the damiana herb was to induce abortion, it should be avoided in pregnancy.
