Yohimbe

It can work for libido and arousal, but the safety margin is narrow enough that it is not a casual wellness herb.

A rough internal score reflecting quantity, quality, and consistency of human evidence. Not a clinical recommendation.

Prescription yohimbine has some evidence for erectile dysfunction, but whole-herb yohimbe is less standardized and more side-effect-prone.

• May increase libido and arousal
• Has genuine alpha-2 antagonism
• Sometimes used in short-term performance-focused protocols

Dosing is highly product dependent and safety-sensitive; lower standardized products are preferred if used at all.

• Anxiety
• Palpitations
• High blood pressure

Can raise heart rate, blood pressure, anxiety, and panic. It should be avoided in cardiovascular disease, psychiatric instability, and with stimulants.

The underlying pharmacology is real, but the whole-bark supplement form is harder to dose safely than purified prescription yohimbine.
