HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Damiana by Oregon's Wild Harvest
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: organic damiana, a plant traditionally used for various purposes. The capsule itself is made from pullulan, an inactive ingredient that serves as the capsule material.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for damiana isn't yet established. The facts we hold show insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, cognitive function, constipation, or depression.
That means either the research is too limited or too mixed to draw a firm conclusion — not that it doesn't work, but that we don't have solid proof yet that it does.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Human safety data for damiana are limited, though typical food and tea amounts appear likely fine for most adults. At very high doses — 200 grams of damiana extract — severe neurological effects have been reported, including tetanus-like convulsions and symptoms resembling strychnine poisoning.
The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take antidiabetes drugs (for type 1 or type 2 diabetes, or any blood sugar medication), check your exact medication with the search tool on this page before starting damiana. The risk is low blood sugar, which your doctor or pharmacist should help you watch for.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Damiana is a single-ingredient herbal supplement with limited human safety data and no established evidence for the conditions it's traditionally used for. If you take diabetes medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding it — it may lower your blood sugar further.
Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid it.
