About Yohimbe - Pausinystalia yohimbe or Corynanthe yohimbe

Botannical facts: Yohimbe is the name of several evergreen  trees growing in africa, especially Pausinystalia yohimbe, but also others like Corynathe yohimbe.

Habitat and growth condition: The trees  grow in western Africa in Nigeria, Cameroon, the Congo and Gabon.

Production and preparation: The bark of the tree is used gound and this ground powder is used in herbal products. The effective component yohimbine is also extracted from the bark and sold to pharmaceutical plants. The bark of Pausinysthalia yohimbe has the highest persentage of the effective components. This bark contains 0,6 - 09, per sent yohimbine which is the compound considered effective. The total amount of alkaloids in the bark is 6%.  Ectracts from the bark are sold with  different concentrations of yohimbine, for example 45, 8% and 20%.

Pausinysthalia yohimbe has become a rare tree due to bark harvesting that destroys the trees. Therefore barks of the other trees are mostly used for herbal products.

Effective constituents and their basic reactions: The effective component in yohimbe is yohimbine. Yohimbine is a selective competitive alpha2-adrenergic receptor antagonist, that is it hinders the signalling of adrenaline to certain tissues. The penis does not have this kind of receprors. Therefore yohimbine does not affect the penis directly. The effect of yohimbine on sexual functions is therefore through side routes.

Medical effects: Yohimbe increases the strength of erection in men that does not have any erectil dysfunction. Thus it makes an allready normal erectile power even stronger.

Yohimbe alone is not very effective in most cases for helping against erectil dysfunction, but combined with other drugs, it has shown to have a greater  effect against erectile dysfunction.

Users of yohimbe often report strong effect both on increasing a normal erection potency and on remending erectile dysfunction. This is in contrast to laboratory experiments that show little effect against erectile dysfunction. Probably the effect is strong, but only in combination with other drugs or certain arousing factors, such as a sexually arousing environment.

Yohimbe is said also to increase genital reaction and especually engorgement of the sexual organ by women.

Yohimbe has the ability to keep a person awake for a long time.

Side effects: Yohimbe in moderate and greater amount increases distinctly the heart rate and effectively hinders sleep. Other that small amounts can also cause anxiety, nausea, dissiness and high blood pressure. Therefore only small amounts of yohimbe must be used. and the drug must not be used regularly every day for a longer period.

Traditional medical uses: In african cultures the herb has been used for centuries to increase sexual drive and boost erection power. It has also been used in Africa for fever, coughs and leprosy.

Uses in modern herbal drugs: The herb is used in modern herbal drugs to increase sexual drive, to maximize erections and to help against erectild dysfunction. However, since side effects can be very distinct in greater doses, one used only small amounts of yohimbe in these drugs to hinder side effects. The yohimbe is also combined with other effectors, so that the combined action of yohimbe and the other drugs gives the wanted result. This combined action is greater that the action of yohimbe alone.

Uses in pharmacological products: Yohimbe or yohimbine has been a prescription pharmacy for a long time to be used against erectile dysfunction, but it is less popular now after drugs like viagra an the like got onto the makret.
