Yohimbe is used by the tribal people of West Africa as an aphrodisiac and remedy for erectile dysfunction. It aids the dilation of blood vessels in the body’s periphery and mucous membranes and stimulates the central nervous system. Yohimbe is quite stimulating, and when dosed improperly can increase blood pressure and cause dizziness, racing pulse, irritability, and nervousness.
*Yohimbe should not be used by those with heart, kidney, or liver conditions. Like many herbs, it can interact with certain medications. This is not a complete list of all possible contraindications*
