Natural Viagra?

Is there a way to improve sexual performance naturally without resorting to drugs like Viagra? Yohimbine is a substance obtained from the bark of the African yohibe tree. For generations it has had a reputation for being an aphrodisiac, and the folklore surrounding it. There are a number of scientific studies that support its use for impotence including articles in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior (1996;25(4):341-360), in the Lancet (August 22, 1987:421-423) and in the International Journal of Impotence Research (2002;14:25-31)
There are some safety concerns with Yohimbine. You should not take it if you have kidney disease or heart disease. Anxiety is the most common side effect seen with yohimbine, especially higher doses, and for this reason it should not be used by if you are prone to panic attacks or with stress-related disorders. Talk to your doctor if you have a medical condition, particularly hypertension, heart disease, or diabetes. Be careful if you take medications, particularly tranquilizers, antidepressants, sedatives, antihistamines, amphetamines and other stimulants, including caffeine and herbal stimulants such as ginseng. Some of the side effects of high dose yohimbe include anxiety, changes in blood pressure, heart rate increase, palpitations, dizziness, headache, visual disturbances, nausea or abdominal cramps, increased body temperature and sweating.
Like many health problems, erectile dysfunction is complex. Addressing it with a single pill, whether it is Viagra or some herb, is short-sighted. Since an erection is dependent on good circulation, and many of the conditions that make for poor cardiovascular function, like arteriosclerosis, diabetes and high blood pressure. A healthy diet (go to wholehealthweb.com for nutritional information), and moderate exercise may help even more than a magic pill.
