The herb. Yohimbe (Pausinystalia johimbe) is a tree in the coffee family, Rubiaceae, native to the rainforests of Cameroon, Nigeria, Gabon and Congo. The inner bark is stripped, dried and traditionally brewed into a bitter tea or chewed. Its character comes from indole alkaloids, chiefly yohimbine, with rauwolscine and corynanthine.

What's in it. The raw bark carries yohimbine and its sister alkaloids in their natural, variable proportions, plus tannins for a bitter, astringent taste. Because this is unprocessed bark, the alkaloid content varies from batch to batch and is not standardized to any percentage.

Dosage and use. We publish no serving for raw yohimbe bark; use it only under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Start with a very small amount, once, and wait several hours before more. It is not a daily botanical; keep amounts small, and never combine it with anything stimulating. For a more consistent, measured product, see our Yohimbe Extract.

What to expect. Users describe a strong, warm, energizing rush, a faster pulse and heightened alertness. It is not a relaxing herb, not a beginner's herb, and not something to take in the evening.

Side effects. Documented side effects include restlessness, jitteriness, increased heart rate, sweating, flushing, headache and nausea. More severe effects on the heart, kidney disorders and seizures have been documented. Stop at once if your heart races or you feel unwell, and seek help if symptoms are severe.
