Yohimbe Bark Extract: Stimulatory Herb
Lately Viagra has dominated the news and headlines as the only remedy for
erectile dysfunction, commonly referred to as impotence. Despite the aggressive
media campaign on behalf of Viagra, natural remedies are available that are
equally effective, probably safer, and certainly more cost-effective in
restoring erectile function.
Used for centuries in West Africa, yohimbe bark was used as a tea to enhance
virility. For more than 50 years, before the advent of Viagra, an extract of
yohimbe bark, with its active ingredient yohimbine, was used in the United
States to treat sexual problems in both males and females.
Some human trials have shown that yohimbine provides benefits if there is no
organic cause of erectile dysfunction. That is, if the decrease in libido is a
result of stress, anxiety, or advancing years, and not due to any illnesses,
including psychiatric conditions.
The latest German study published in 1997 shows that 71% of 83 males diagnosed
with erectile dysfunction responded favorably to yohimbine treatment over an
eight-week period. More importantly, it should be noted that yohimbe bark
extract does not require testosterone as an aid to enhance libido.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the Optimal Dose for Yohimbine?
The doses of yohimbine reported to be safe vary from 18 mg to 100 mg per day,
and should be divided into three or four doses. One study reported that a single
dose of 100 mg per day did not prove to be effective.
Does Yohimbine Have Adverse Effects?
Most researchers deem it to be safe and is generally tolerated well when used in
the recommended doses. Increase in dosage may cause anxiety, dizziness,
headache, nausea, increased urinary frequency and insomnia. Yohimbine may also
cause high blood pressure and, as a result, occasional arrhythmia. The
individual optimal dose may be determined by consultation with a healthcare
provider.
Who Should Not Take Yohimbine?
Men with known and diagnosed high blood pressure or a family history of high
blood pressure should not take yohimbine.
