Hey great post! Thank you for your input! I have a question about Damiana. I purchased an extract version of this herb because I suffer from PCOS related depression (affecting me shortly after ovulation to Day 5-7 of menstruation. I thought Damiana would be a good thing because it is supposed to boost libido and sooth anxiety and depression. Then I did some further research and found some website pages that link Damiana's anti-depressant values and libido boosting abilities to the idea that it increases testosterone! This has scared me out of taking it. I know my male hormone levels are high. I have annoying hair growth.
Is this true about Damiana? If it isn't a testosterone booster I'd like to try it. I have tried St. John's Wort and 5-HTP with little success and I am rightly hesitant about trying any more prescription drugs. |
