African Yohimbé
Bark (Corynanthe yohimbe)
Actions:
Aphrodisiac, impotency tonic.
Common Use: Yohimbe contains
an active compound called Yohimbine, this compound has now been isolated
and synthesized by a pharmaceutical company and is prescribed in the
relief of impotence. It has traditionally been used as an aphrodisiac
and in fact Yohimbine is the only thing you'll find in the Physicians
Desk Reference where the word aphrodisiac is used. Indicated in Parkinson's
disease, impotence and lack of libido, yohimbe is a rich source of alkaloids
which can block the uptake of neuro-transmitters at Alpha-2 receptor
sites and has also been used in dieting and weight management programs.
5 to 15 drops 2-3 times daily for 2-4 weeks and 1 hour before needed.
Not recommended if nursing or pregnant. May be contraindicated in vascular
disease, kidney disease and diabetes.
