Yohimbe

Yohimbe is the bark of an African tree. Like that other famous African plant hoodia gordonii, natives of Africa have used both the bark of the tree and purified bark extract for centuries for an energy boost, to increase sexual appetite and sexual function. Rumor has it that yohimbe bark has even been smoked for its hallucinogenic effects.

In this article, we'll stick to the aphrodisiac effects of yohimbe and possible side effects of yohimbe.

What does yohimbe do?

Current researchers aren't 100% certain exactly how yohimbe works. Here's what is known: yohimbe works throughout the nervous system to increase blood flow to the genitals. The result is a higher level of sexual performance and sensation. Whether the increase in sexual desire is a side effect of the increased blood flow or whether there is another cause is unknown. The best theory on yohimbe's action is that it works as an antagonist to alpha 2-adrenoceptors, and it also seems to boost the brain's levels of norepinephrine (the brain's sex chemical).

Yohimbe has even been shown to increase both the force and the quantity of a man's ejaculate, which makes it a good candidate for inclusion in volume pills.

There are many other alkaloids found in yohimbe bark which might be responsible for its aphrodisiac effects.
