In fascinating new research carried out at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric
Institute, the herb Yohimbe (from a tree bark) was found to help people
with anxiety disorders overcome their fears in just 1/4th the time of
pharmaceuticals typically prescribed for such conditions. It appears to
work by altering the effects of adreneline in the body -- a hormone
typically produced in response to fear or anxiety.
Yohimbe, of
course, is more popularly used for the herbal treatment of erectile
dysfunction. However, as this research shows, herbs can sometimes offer
a complex array of health benefits that will only be fully understood
when sufficiently studied. And unfortunately, even when herbs are proven
to out-perform prescription drugs (which is almost always the case), the
herbs remain all but unknown while the prescription drugs are heavily
promoted and prescribed by doctors.
