Yohimbe is an evergreen tree native to Congo, Cameroon, West Africa. The potency-enhancing effect of the bark of the yohimbe tree has long been discovered and used accordingly against potency disorders. Cameroonian tribes used it to increase fertility and increase male strength. The active ingredient of yohimbe is the alkaloid yohimbine, which is found in many other plants. Among other things, yohimbine is contained in the bark of the West African niando tree (Alchornea floribunda), some types of snake root (Rauwolfia serpentina, Rauwolfia volkensii), the South American quebrachofa (Aspidosperma quebrachoblanco) and Mitragyna stipulose. The yohimbe tree has the strongest effect and the highest yohimbine ratio. The iboga tree has a similar effect, which is probably the closest to the yohimbe tree in terms of its effect.

Yohimbe alternatives
The following exotic herbs can have a similar libido-enhancing effect, such as damiana (a popular aphrodisiac of Aztec culturkor), muira puama (used by Amazonian rainforest tribes) and maca powder, which the Incas loved. These are also purely herbs, but they have no side effects (which cannot be said about yohimbe) and have an aphrodisiac effect.
