Catuaba has a long history of use in herbal medicine as an aphrodisiac.  The Tupi Indians in Brazil first discovered the aphrodisiac qualities of the plant and over the last few centuries they have composed many songs praising its wonders and abilities.  This plant is considered a central nervous system stimulant and used to tone, balance, and calm the central nervous system, for nervousness, emotional stress, and insomnia (related to overactive neurotransmitters).
