Actually cranberry juice has antibacterial and antifungal properties. You can drink large amounts of it to treat or prevent BV and yeast infection. (I wrote an article that never made it to SexIs)
I just quickly did a search about Damiana. It seems it's to treat vaginal dryness. Someone claimed it made their vajayjay tingle and someone else said it made them feel tight.
Rossie, you may wanna read more about the effects of that herb. A few websites suggest that it's progesterone binding, but not estrogen binding. That would make you estrogen dominate. That's not safe!!! Some experts say that estrogen dominance is a recipe for cancer. I'm not trying to scare you!!! Just make sure that you read up on it and talk to your healthcare provider/doctor about it. Some herbs can be dangers. There is no FDA regulation on herbs, that can be both bad and good. If that herb helps you, you can always have your healthcare provider check your estrogen and progesterone levels once a year just to be safe.
