== Uses Common names== *The wood and bark are used for firewood and construction. Bark, the most commercially important product, is used in extractions to make tinctures for traditional medicine and dietary supplements.*Extracts from the bark of yohimbe are used in West Africa as a general tonic and as an aphrodisiac.[2][3][4] {{Common names|kn=|ml=|sa=|ta=|te=|hi=|en=Yohimbe bark and extract are widely used in manufactured dietary supplements.
