The Amazonian herb Muira puama or Potency Wood has long been valued as an aphrodisiac and tonic for the nervous system. When treating the symptoms of sexual impotency or lack of desire, Brazilian men usually mixed teas made from Muira puama and Catuaba. In addition Muira puama is mentioned in folklore in treating symptoms of rheumatism, trauma, and gastrointestinal and neuromuscular problems.
Because of neurosexual stimulation, Muira puama can enhance the libido, which can enhance blood chi and balance yin and yang.
Yohimbine, an alkaloid isolated from the bark of the Yohimbin tree, increases libido, but its primary function is to increase the blood flow to the erectile tissue. Contrary to popular misconception, yohimbine has no effect on testosterone levels.
When used alone, yohimbine is successful in 34-43% of cases; however, side effects of yohimbine make it very difficult to utilize. Yohimbine can induce anxiety, panic attacks and hallucinations in some individuals. Other side effects include elevation in blood pressure and heart rate, dizziness, headaches, and skin flushing. Yohimbine should not be used by individuals with kidney disease, by women, or by individuals with psychological disturbances. The FDA classifies Yohimbine as an unsafe herb. In Canada, Yohimbine is a prescription drug.
One of the best herbs to use for erectile dysfunction is Muira puama. Recent clinical studies have validated its safety and effectiveness in improving libido and sexual functions in some patients. Dr. Jacques Waynberg in France conducted a clinical study on 262 patients complaining of lack of sexual desire and demonstrated Muira puama to be effective in over 62% of the patients. No side effects were observed.
At this time, the active element of Muira puama is unknown. From the preliminary information, it appears that it works on enhancing both psychological and physical aspects of sexual function. Current research is expected to shed more light on this extremely promising herb for erectile dysfunction.
Muira puama has been used in tonifying the nervous system and for cases of mild exhaustion. It may help with gastrointestinal and reproductive disorders. It has antirheumatic properties and can be used for treating stress and trauma. Because of neurosexual stimulation, it can enhance the libido. In Chinese medical tradition, it can enhance blood chi and balance yin and yang. It is also used for neuromuscular problems.
