Yohimbe tree bark has been used an aphrodisiac and to treat sexual dysfunction--in men and women--for centuries. According to Entheology.org, its use as an herbal medicine may go as far back as ancient Egyptian times. Yohimbe works by stimulating noradrenaline at the nerve endings. When taken in sufficient doses, this can cause erections in men. Yohimbe can also be smoked as a hallucinogenic, but its primary applications all require oral ingestion.
Step 1
Take 5.4 to 10 milligrams of yohimbine hydrochloride--a supplement made from yohimbe tree bark--three times daily to treat erectile dysfunction in men. Women should take 5.4 milligrams three times each day, as recommended by the National Institutes of Health.
Step 2
Treat the side effects of antidepressant drugs with 2.7 to 16.2 milligrams of yohimbine hydrochloride, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Step 3
Steep 1 teaspoon of yohimbe in 8 ounces of hot water. Boil for 5 to 10 minutes if using leaver or flowers and 10 to 20 minutes for roots. This makes a tea that is commonly used as a sexual stimulant. Drink 2 to 4 cups each day, as advised by the University of Maryland Medical Center.
Step 4
Take 15 to 30 grams of fresh or dried yohimbe bark daily to treat erectile dysfuction, according to NaturalHerbsGuide.com. This is most often found in capsule form, but it can also be found as a powder. Dried yohimbe bark can also be eaten as is, but it is often difficult to chew.
Step 5
Consume 5 to 10 drops of yohimbe bark tincture three times daily to enjoy benefits of the supplement as a sexual stimulant, according to NaturalHerbsGuide.com. Yohimbe bark tincture is a liquid concentration of the nutrients in yohimbe bark.
Step 6
Eat 6 milligrams yohimbine hydrochloride to treat dry mouth, according to the National Institutes of Health. Yohimbine hydrochloride comes as a pill or capsule.
