Impotence (not able to have erections)
The way yohimbine works is not known for sure. It is thought, however, to work by increasing the body's production of certain chemicals that help produce erections. It does not work in all men who are impotent.
New research that shows it could be an herb with very effective antioxidant potential. Research shows it is a vasodilator, which means that it increases blood flow to the extremities and appendages.

Patients sensitive to rauwolfia alkaloids such as deserpidine, rauwolfia serpentina, or reserpine may also be sensitive to yohimbine.
Yohimbine readily penetrates the (CNS) and produces a complex pattern of responses in lower doses than those required to produce peripheral alpha-adrenergic blockade.

Sweating, nausea and vomiting are common after parenteral administration of the drug. Also, dizziness, headache skin flushing reported when used orally.
