Yohimbe Herbal Remedies
Is it herbal Viagra? Yohimbe has a long-standing reputation as an aphrodisiac, and it is a nervous system stimulant, excitant, and blood flow regulator to the penis. Studies show it actually does help some men to have, and maintain, an erection. The herb does not work for everybody, and because of its side effects, should be used cautiously. A modified constituent from the bark, yohimbine hydrochloride, is prescribed by doctors occasionally. Yohimbe has a taste of BITTER and a temperature of COOL.
