Answer 1

Face it sister, as women get older, their a$$es and arms get flabbier. Only way to really fix it is see a good plastic surgeon--which is what my old lady did!

Answer 5

I am so busy with my 5 kids (all under 8 years old!) and I hate exercising and dieting, life's too short! So I thought the only option for getting rid of my ugly cellulite was to book in with a set of weekly medical roller treatments. Job done.

However, they cost me a monstrous $3000 and, you guessed it, did absolutely nothing. I couldn't believe it. It left me thoroughly depressed.

I saw this info on the web and I gave it a go, what did I have to lose now! And, my god this is genius. Quick and easy. I feel so wonderful in my new, smooth, renewed figure! I am a yummy mummy now!

Cellulite Disappear?

Answer 6

Yohimbe does increase your circulation, but I doubt if it would help with your cellulite. Yohimbe is used by men for increased sexual pleasure because of the increase of blood flow to the penis.
I am a male, but do know about Yohimbe.

Answer 7

Yohimbine, also known under the outdated names quebrachin, aphrodin, corynine, yohimvetol, and hydroergotocin, is the principal alkaloid of the bark of the West-African tree Pausinystalia yohimbe Pierre (formerly Corynanthe yohimbe), family Rubiaceae (Madder family). There are 31 other yohimbane alkaloids found in Yohimbe.

Pharmacology
Yohimbine is a selective competitive alpha2-adrenergic receptor antagonist and is used for treating erectile dysfunction. It is claimed to be an aphrodisiac. It is also used as a weight loss supplement as it increases noradrenaline (norepinephrine) levels.

Higher doses of oral Yohimbine create numerous side effects such as rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, and overstimulation. Yohimbine is also used clinically to produce anxiety.

Some internet shops even sell expensive formulations of Yohimbine for transdermal delivery to effect a local reduction of adipose tissue, although there is no evidence that it is effective. Sources of demand for products of this kind frequently come from the bodybuilding community.

Research shows it is a vasodilator, which means that it increases blood flow to the extremities and appendages. It does this via an indirect mechanism of increasing the release of noradrenaline.

Controlled studies suggest that it is not a particularly effective treatment for impotence, and evidence of increased sex drive (libido) is anecdotal only[1]. It has significant side effects such as postural hypotension and can cause anxiety reactions.

Yohimbine also has been shown to decrease fat synthesis in the body by increasing fatty acid mobilization (causing weight loss).

In veterinary medicine, Yohimbine is used to reverse anesthesia from the drug xylazine in small and large animals.

Many in the medical profession regard yohimbine to be a health risk, and advise people not to take it.

Yohimbe -Yohimbe Bark and yohimbe side effects

Yohimbe is a popular herb coming originally from South Africa and known worldwide as an excellent aphrodisiac. In fact it is the inner bark of the tropical West African tree Corynanthe Yohimbe. For centuries, folks from these regions have used the crude bark as a tonic to enhance sexual prowess and pleasure.



Yohimbine is the sexual enhancement medication with the furthest reaching systemic impact: heart palpitations and excitation with insomnia for up to 30 hours can happen after ingesting even a small amount of yohimbine.

Yohimbe has been one of the most popular supplements for men and women for years. When ingested, the body converts it to yohimbine and assimilates it into the bloodstream.

The active alkaloid, yohimbine bitartrate, is the component of the only allopathic medicines known to cause erection in impotent males and approaches the concept of an aphrodisiac. Yohimbine bitartrate particularly affects nerves and changes blood flow regulators in the genital area. The medical texts never mention that it does the same thing to women, showing a typical disregard for female erection.

Yohimbe bark stimulates chemical reactions in the body that may aid in psychogenic cases of impotence, due to fatigue, tension and stress. Clinical studies have shown the herb to be effective in restoring potency in diabetic and heart patients who suffer from impotency.

In higher doses (approximately 50 mg or more per day), yohimbine appears to block both an enzyme called monoamine oxidase (MAO) and also neurotransmitters ? particularly dopamine and serotonin, which are all thought to play a role in maintaining emotional status.
