Considerations & Safety:

• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Damiana is generally not recommended for use during pregnancy, as it may have uterine-stimulating effects that could potentially lead to miscarriage. It is also advised that women who are **breastfeeding** consult a healthcare provider before using damiana, as its effects on lactation are not well understood.

• Drug Interactions: Damiana may interact with certain medications, especially those used to treat high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression. It is always advisable to consult with a healthcare provider before taking damiana if you are on any medications, particularly those for mental health conditions or hormonal therapies.

• Blood Pressure: Since damiana can affect blood pressure, individuals with low blood pressure should use it cautiously. While damiana is often used to support blood flow, it may lower blood pressure in some individuals, so monitoring is important.

• Allergic Reactions: Though rare, some people may have an allergic reaction to damiana. Symptoms may include skin rashes, itching, or difficulty breathing. If you notice any signs of an allergic reaction, stop using it and seek medical attention immediately.
