History and Uses:
Catuaba is a medium-sized, vigorous-growing tree in the Amazon Rainforest.  In Brazilian herbal medicine, Catuaba is considered a central nervous system stimulant with aphrodisiac properties that has been used for sexual impotency, agitation, nervousness, poor memory or forgetfulness, as well as sexual weakness and lowered libido in both men and women.  Catuaba produces pretty yellow and orange flowers and small, oval, dark yellow fruit.  It is rich in active and beneficial natural phytochemicals, and for thousands of years, the Native Amazon Indians have used Catuaba as a strong tonic for the entire body, but primarily for the nervous system.  Herbalists and health practitioners in the United States use Catuaba in much the same way: a tonic for the genitals, a central nervous system stimulant for sexual impotence, general exhaustion and fatigue, an aid for insomnia and a support for hypertension, agitation and poor memory.  Catuaba is often used in combination with Muirapauma, Maca, and Yohimbe Bark to improve male sexual virility. Catuaba belongs to the family, Erythroxylaceae, which contains several species that are the source of cocaine; however, this Catuaba, contains none of the active cocaine alkaloids.  The constituents found in Catuaba include a bitter substance, alkaloids, tannins, aromatic oils and fatty resins; phytosterols, cyclolignans.  Clinical studies on Catuaba have found very interesting results involving its antibacterial and antiviral properties.
