Yohimbe

The bark of this West African tree may be your best natural bet for reversing sexual dysfunction. Called "herbal viagra", yohimbe's' active phytochemical, yohimbine was once the most commonly prescribed drug for erection dysfunction. (1) Yohimbe's sexual power comes from a combination of alkaloids, organic plant substances that have strong medicinal properties.

The terms yohimbine, yohimbine hydrochloride, and yohimbe bark extract are related but different. Yohimbe refers to the herb. Yohimbine refers to the active chemical found not only in yohimbe but also in Indian snakewood, periwinkle, quebracho, and niando. For a significant number of men who try it, yohimbe lives up to its reputation as a sexual performance enhancer.

Yohimbe herb extracts are most often used in formulas for male ED support, most people don't realize that yohimbe is also effective in women. This herb increases blood flow to the genitals of both males and females giving women an enhanced sensation and engorgement of genital organs.

Yohimbe is also sold as a muscle building natural version of anabolic steroids. However, it's action is apparently unrelated to the body's production of testosterone, which means it probably is of little value in building bigger muscles.

How to Use: Yohimbe
Preparation Methods :Commonly found in a standardized supplement containing 8 to 16 milligrams of yohimbine, or yohimbe tincture. Also suitable for a decoction. Many herbalists recommend wild oats, often in combination with ginseng and yohimbe, in tea blends. To make a tea of yohimbe use 1 ounce of dried bark to 2 cups water. Add lemon juice to help draw out the alkaloids. Best results might be achieved by taking it an hour or so before sex.
