From the dry country, by way of the apothecary.
Damiana grows across the Mexican scrublands and was taken up by the Maya long before the Spanish wrote it down. It traveled into European herbals from there, and it remains what it was, an import, kept for a character nothing here matches.
Warm and slightly bitter, with a dry aromatic sweetness behind it. Often drunk in the evening, and it has a long reputation for making dreams more vivid.
