Side Effects of Damania?

I've recently started taking a blend of herbs whose purpose is to combat anxiety. This blend contains Damania, Lavender, Peppermint, and Lemon Balm. I started yesterday, and today I have felt dizzy and nauseous all day. I was wondering if this was a potential side effect of these herbs. Also, I was wondering if anybody knew of a way to counteract the nausea. (The feeling is very similar to motion sickness.)

How do you gain back energy?

Answers:
Yes, it is possible that the dizziness is because of the herbal blend. Is this a product that you chose on your own, or did someone at the health food store, or a naturopath, advise you to take it? Before starting herbal therapies, it is well advised to seek the services of a naturopath or herbalist. They will be able to help you determine which ones will help you balance your body. It will also save you time and money because you won't be trying several different products that you may not need.

To counteract the nausea, use peppermint essential oil applied topically over the stomach; or, if you have peppermint candy that is made with peppermint oil, that will work as well.

I have been researching herbal remedies for adhd and have no way to decipher which products are truly effectiv

Testosterone is the major hormone responsible for our sex drives. Women produce small amounts of testosterone in their ovaries and adrenal glands and experience a drop in both estrogen and testosterone levels with the onset of menopause or from menopause caused from chemotherapy or the removal of the ovaries. For many women, a loss of libido is connected to this dramatic loss of hormones.

Many women also report that lower testosterone levels lesson the intensity and frequency of sexual fantasies. They just don't have the urge anymore, which affects their intimate relationships with their mates, which can cause much distress as the sexual bond diminishes. Between the ages of 20-40 our testosterone levels drop by 50%. When we hit menopause we lose another 30-50%. Many of us who rely on medications such as certain antidepressants, birth control pills, and some drugs that lower blood pressure are under double jeopardy, as these can lower testosterone levels also.

Testosterone, responsible for the sex drive in both women and men,
diminishes as we grow older.
Lower testosterone levels are also responsible for lack of sensitivity in the nipples and clitoris, which can impede many women from achieving orgasm. Physical examples of lowered testosterone show themselves through loss of pubic hair, dry skin and the shrinking of genital tissue. Muscle tone decreases dramatically as our testosterone levels decline.

Men also are subject to a 35% testosterone loss between the ages of 20 and 80. The amount of androgens (male hormones) steadily decreases after the age of 25. Lowered levels of testosterone cause penis shrinkage and loss of libido. Men also suffer from decreased muscle tone, moodiness and depression as their testosterone levels decline.

Many people experiencing these symptoms from plunging hormonal levels are turning to hormone replacement therapy, which can have positive results in getting their libidos back to normal. Many physicians are reluctant to use synthetic hormone replacement therapy because of the many possible side effects and the lack of long- term clinical studies. They've found that the side effects include: acne, unwanted facial hair, oily skin, and the concern that testosterone has a tendency to lower the HDL (the good) Cholesterol levels, especially when taken in pill form. According to Brian Walsh, MD from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, 50% of women taking testosterone notice no change in their libido. In rare cases, testosterone taken in pill form can impair liver function.

Testosterone is not going to help someone suffering from years of sexual incompatibility or dissatisfaction. The general agreement from many studies show that testosterone causes a decrease in sexual inhibition and increases the sex drive. So many people believe the benefits of increased libido outweigh the side effects and enjoy the new-found help for their lagging desires! You and your doctor must make the decision jointly whether hormone replacement therapy is for you.

Natural Alternatives to Synthetic Testosterone Replacement

Zinc

The male sex organs use more zinc than any other part of the body. Due to zinc deficiency in the foods we eat, we often are not getting what we need. Many men with impotency problems are found to be deficient in this mineral. Zinc also stops the pituitary gland from making prolactin, according to research done by Alan Judd at the University of Virginia Medical School. Prolactin stops testosterone production. The body absorbs zinc citrate easier. Low levels of zinc in women are related to vaginal dryness and lower sex drives.

ASD

Scientists have been able to synthesize the main precursor to testosterone - androstenedione or ASD. ASD works with the body, making just the amount of testosterone that it needs.

Lycopene

Tomatos contain lycopene, an essential ingredient for men’s reproductive health.

Lycopene is an important nutrient found in tomatoes, which seems to be important for sexual health in men. The testicles contain more lycopenes than any other part of the body; impotent men have very low levels of it. Being recently discovered, scientists haven’t figured out why the testicles contain such a high amount, except that this plant extract acts as a shield to the sex organs. Lycopene is one of the strongest antioxidants found, hundreds of times more powerful than vitamins C, E and pycnogenol or grape seed extract. So give your man lots of tomato concentrated foods to help ensure his sexual longevity!

Herbs

There are many herbs to help balance your hormonal levels. By working with your doctor or naturopath you can find just the right herbs. Whether experiencing PMS, menopause or peri-menopausal symptoms, there are herbs that can help bring your body chemistry back into balance.

It may be safer to let the body use the mild forms of phytohormones in herbs to help bring back sexual potency, before resorting to concentrated and controversial forms of hormones that can have strong and undesirable side effects.

Remember that a healthy lifestyle is the best way to ensure a full and satisfying sex life. Fresh air and nature can invigorate and stimulate us. Regular exercise can increase blood flow and thereby help to stimulate the life force and libido. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't, so here are a few more hints.

Herbal Preparations

Damiana

Damania herb has been used throughout the ages to cure sexual impotence. It has a strong tonic action on the central nervous system and the hormonal systems, acting as an anti- depressant for treating sexual dysfunction. Traditional native Mexicans have used this herb to increase the libido. It is sometimes mixed with Saw Palmetto Berries as a general tonic for the reproductive organs. Be careful, this one is potent!

False Unicorn Root

This root is used primarily in the treatment of female sterility and sexual impotence. It highly increases fertility in women, so if you don't want to get pregnant, use it carefully. It helps to prevent miscarriage and aids in the relief of morning sickness when taken in small doses throughout the day. It is a strong sexual stimulant.

Angelica

Angelica Root

Angelica is another potent root used to improve circulation, warm the body and is helpful in the treatment of colds, coughs and all lung diseases. It's also used for treating rheumatic problems and is a general tonic for improving sexual function. Do not use this root during pregnancy. Diabetics should not use it either, as it increases blood sugar levels.

Astragalus

This is a general tonic and stimulant used to increase energy and build resistance to weakness and disease. It's a valuable diuretic and is frequently used in Chinese formulas for the treatment of sexual dysfunction.

Ginseng Root

Red ginseng root is an excellent choice for treating sexual dysfunction. It is considered the king of eastern tonics. Ginseng stimulates the entire system to overcome stress and fatigue and is a beneficial stimulant for the heart and circulatory system. Ginseng reduces "bad" cholesterol and prevents atherosclerosis. It is not recommended for women that have excessive menstrual flow.

Sika Red Deer Antler

The antlers of the Sika Red Deer from Northern China are used as a powerful aphrodisiac for both men and women. Deer Antlers are ground and generally made into a tincture form. It stimulates the hormonal system.

Daminia is what's causing you to become Dizzy...
This is one of the side effects listed. It can also interfere with other drugs you may be taking.

Lavender, Peppermint and Lemon Balm are all natural herbs that should not give you any such side effects unless you are allergic to one of them..

For the nauseous, I have no idea except it may be related to a bit of anxiety, which was also mentioned concerning Daminia.

You can go to a vitamin shop or health food store and purchase some "Ginger Capsules"... take 3-4 a day to start and see what happens. I know they will help you because I took them during my entire Chemotherapy (and no other drugs) and I NEVER became sick to my stomach.
Besides, it's a natural spice and is very very good for you. It will most defiantly help you after a few doses...

Wishing you the very Best..........
