Lately Viagra has dominated the news and headlines as the only remedy
for erectile dysfunction, commonly referred to as impotence. Despite
the aggressive media campaign on behalf of Viagra, natural remedies are
available that are equally effective, probably safer, and certainly
more cost-effective in restoring erectile function.
Used for centuries in West Africa, yohimbe bark was used as a tea to
enhance virility. For more than 50 years, before the advent of Viagra,
an extract of yohimbe bark, with its active ingredient yohimbine, was
used in the United States to treat sexual problems in both males and
females.
Some human trials have shown that yohimbine provides benefits if there
is no organic cause of erectile dysfunction. That is, if the decrease
in libido is a result of stress, anxiety, or advancing years, and not
due to any illnesses, including psychiatric conditions.
The latest German study published in 1997 shows that 71% of 83 males
diagnosed with erectile dysfunction responded favorably to yohimbine
treatment over an eight-week period. More importantly, it should be
noted that yohimbe bark extract does not require testosterone as an aid
to enhance libido.
