I’ve been making tea with damiana, which says on the packet “Euphoric, aphrodisiac, restorative, dream recall”. It smells beautiful too. Interestingly I have remembered a few dreams recently, which is not common for me.

According to the Wikipedia article, it bears fruits similar in taste to figs. I’d love to try them – it’s interesting to note what a small selection of plants we as humans use as food, there are so many edible plants out there, there is probably something edible and delicious growing near you as I keep finding on my wild food walks.
