Damiana
Native to South America and the southern regions of North America, damiana
is a small shrub with toothed, pale green leaves and reddish stems. It has
been used since ancient times for its purported aphrodisiac qualities by
the native peoples of Mexico. Damiana has also been used as a stimulant
for the nervous system, an energy tonic, and as a natural remedy to
address anxiety-related disorders. In vitro studies, as well as those
performed on mice, suggest a potentially positive benefit for use in
disorders of the urinary tract. Human clinical trials have yet to confirm
its efficacy in the area of sexual virility - that for which it is
renowned.
Directions
Apply Bianca Rosa salve/ointment morning and evenings, or as directed by a health care practitioner. On a moist cotton wool pad or with the fingertips, apply to the desired area of the body. Massage onto thoroughly cleansed skin with a gentle circular motion.
Cautions
Not to be used during pregnancy and lactation. Do not exceed recommended dose. If irritation or redness occurs, discontinue use immediately.

Crafting Customer Value: The Art and Science
Summary In today's competitive marketplace, customer value-a combination of product and service benefits at a fair price that creates value in the minds of customers-is the key variable for business success.
Using several comprehensive and highly integrated frameworks, Peter Duchessi provides strategies for defining customer value and for developing the critical business, personnel, quality, and information systems that are responsible for delivering customer value.
