Yohimbe is
a tree that grows throughout the African nations of Cameroon, Gabon,
and Zaire. (A similar plant in South America is called Quebracho). For
centuries, natives from these areas have ingested both the crude bark
and purified compound as a tonic to enhance sexual prowess and as an
aphrodisiac. The bark has been smoked as a hallucinogen and has been
used in traditional medicine to treat angina and hypertension. The herb
is a sensual stimulant for healthy men and women. Today, doctors prescribe
an extract from the tree to treat organic impotence.
Yohimbe's energizing
effects stem from its' ability to increase blood flow to the genitals,
both male and female. It is thought to stimulate the pelvic nerve ganglia
and thus is helpful for men with erection problems. In fact a prescription
drug, Yohimbine hydrochloride, is the only FDA approved drug for impotence.
Effects can include increased libido, increased sensation, and increased
stamina. Women have also reported similar effects and general pleasant
sensations.

Yohimbe Bark contains about 6% yohimbine. This constituent is an indole alkaloid
that is classified as an alpha-2-adrenergic blocking agent. The herb has a
general nervous system stimulatory effect and can cause changes in blood pressure
by dilating blood vessels. It can increase the heart rate, raise body temperature,
and increase blood pressure. At higher dosages, it has a mild psychotropic
effect.
Yohimbe Bark stimulates chemical reactions in the body that may aid in psychogenic
cases of impotence, due to fatigue, tension, and stress. Clinical studies
have shown the herb to be effective in restoring potency in diabetic and heart
patients who suffer from impotency. As an alpha-adrenoreceptor blocker, Yohimbe
Bark reduces the effect of hormones that cause constriction of blood vessels,
which typically increases as we age. It increases the body's production of
norepinephrine that is essential in the formation of erections. Also, Yohimbe
Bark may boost the adrenaline supply to nerve endings, which can quicken male
sensual stimulation. It has been used in combination with
Ginseng
and
Saw Palmetto
as a remedy for men with low sex drive.
Yohimbe Bark is also a short term MAO (monoamine oxidase) inhibitor and should
be used with caution, especially if you have high blood pressure. Being an
MAO inhibitor, Yohimbe should not be taken with any food or drink containing
tyramines (cheese, chocolate, beer, aged meats, nuts, etc.) and particularly
not with the amino acids tyrosine or phenylalanine. A rise in blood pressure
can result from the body not being able to remove the tyramines from these
foods. It may be dangerous if used with anti-depressants, sedatives, antihistamines,
caffeine, or amphetamines. Yohimbe may have other side effects such as racing
heart rate, irritability, headache, nausea, sweating, dizziness, and frequent
urination. Anyone with a heart condition, kidney disease, glaucoma, or history
of gastric or duodenal ulcers should avoid this herb.
