Part Used: Dried leaves of Turnera diffusa
Description: Damiana Leaves C/S are prepared from the leaves of Turnera diffusa, a small shrub native to Mexico, Central America, and parts of South America. The plant develops aromatic, oval-shaped leaves with a deep green colour when fresh. Leaves are harvested at full maturity to ensure consistent size, colour, and botanical quality before processing.
After harvesting, the leaves are cleaned to remove stems, dust, and field debris. They are then dried using controlled air-drying or low-temperature methods to reduce moisture while preserving the natural leaf structure and muted green to olive colour. Once dried, the leaves are cut and sifted into uniform pieces suitable for handling and blending.
The finished damiana leaves C/S are lightweight, flat leaf fragments with a soft, leafy texture and a uniform appearance. The consistent particle size allows for easy measuring, stable storage, and convenient incorporation into culinary and creative formulations while maintaining the botanical identity of the plant.
Uses: Damiana Leaves C/S are used in tea-style infusions, herbal beverage blends, botanical craft projects, decorative herb displays, potpourri-style blends, and educational herb kits. They are also suitable for cosmetic formulations, handmade soaps, bath products, and creative applications where dried leaf material is desired for texture and botanical presentation.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container.
