Yohimbe

July 23rd, 2009

As I was searching through the internet, I came across the word ‘yohimbe.’  I have never heard of that word, and I guess my word document hasn’t either.  I decided to do some research.  Yohimbe is actually an herbal supplement that comes from the yohimbe evergreen tree.  So if it’s an herbal supplement, there must be benefits too, right?

There are benefits to yohimbe.  It is mostly used as an aphrodisiac, but there are other health benefits to the yohimbe.  It is beneficial in treating depression, hypertension, hypotension, and chest pain.  It is also used for skin conditions. 

However, there are many side effects to yohimbe.  It may cause nausea, increased blood pressure, dizziness, anxiety, insomnia, rapid heartbeats.  Although it says that yohimbe may decrease some things, it may do the opposite. 

Yohimbe sounds a little fishy to me, and I would not try it myself.  It seems like the side effects outweigh the benefits, and during my research, there are so many conditions one has to be under to be able to take it.  There are other things that can do the same as yohimbe, and without the side effects.  I’d recommend finding the other things, and don’t go for yohimbe right away.
