In Ayurveda, there is no direct equivalent to viagra or tadalafil which act quickly by increasing blood flow. Instead, herbs like ashwagandha, shilajit, gokshura, kaunch beej, safed musli, and kapikacchu are considered rasayanas that gradually improve stamina, fertility, and vitality

KEY POINTS FOR YOU -they dont give instant effect like viagra tadalafil, rather work over weeks-months -usually safe in moderate doses but can cause gastric upset, insomnia, or increased heat in body if overused -given your eye pressure and cholesterol avoid self medicating with strong aphrodisiac formulas -for occasional use some ayurvedic propriety blends vitality/virya Vardhan tablets or lehams exist, but effect is mild compared to allopathic pills

since you re only 29 and improving lifestyle already , best to focus on cholesterol, stress, and fitness which naturally improves sexual function

THANK YOU

It’s safer to take ayurvedic medicine, though it may take a longer time to show results,but much safer Start with Cap ashwashila 1-0-1 after food with water Youvanamrit gold 0-0-1 at bedtime with warm milk. Apply ashwagandha bala oil/ Shilajit oil on penis externally twice daily.

While modern medications like Tadalafil and Viagra are specifically designed for erectile dysfunction, Ayurveda offers alternative natural approaches to enhancing vitality and addressing similar concerns. A key focus in Ayurveda is on balancing the doshas and promoting the health of shukra dhatu (reproductive tissue).

Kapikacchu (Mucuna pruriens) and Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) are two potent herbs often recommended for improving sexual function and energy. Ashwagandha’s adaptogenic properties help reduce stress, potentially benefiting sexual wellness. Kapikacchu is known for supporting healthy sperm production and enhancing libido. Using these herbs alongside your current regimen can be complimentary, just ensure monitoring for any unexpected interactions.

Take Kapikacchu powder, about 1 teaspoon with warm water or milk at bedtime, you can also continue with Ashwagandha as you’re doing now. Safed Musli (Chlorophytum borivilianum) can be another beneficial addition, traditionally used to improve stamina and boost sexual health. Consider starting with a small dose like 2 grams with warm water once a day & observe your body’s reaction.

Ey pressure and cholesterol contribute significantly to overall health and sexual well-being, so continue prioritizing these through diet and lifestyle. Include heart-healthy foods, like flaxseeds, walnuts, and fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Practicing meditation may assist in managing stress levels, indirectly benefiting all systems, including sexual health.

While these remedies may not offer immediate effects like Tadalafil or Viagra, they aim for long-term vitality and balance. Regularly review your conditions with a professional to ensure a wholistic approach to health, seeking guidance tailored to your unique needs. Always discuss new herbal treatments with healthcare provider, especially when managing multiple health conditions or medications to avoid potential contraindications.

given your existing health conditions like high eye pressure and high cholesterol, before starting any new medication or supplement, including Ayurvedic ones. ​Based on your current health routine and questions, here is some information about Ayurvedic alternatives to Tadalafil and Viagra, and their potential effects. ​Ayurvedic Perspective on Male Sexual Health ​Ayurveda views male sexual health, often referred to as “Vajikarana,” as an integral part of overall well-being. The approach is holistic, focusing on a balanced diet, regular exercise, and the use of specific herbs to improve vitality, stamina, and reproductive health. Many of the herbs you are already taking are well-known in this context.
​Ayurvedic Herbs and Their Potential Actions ​Ayurvedic herbs are not direct, “on-demand” alternatives like Tadalafil (Cialis) or Viagra. Instead, they are traditionally used to address the root causes of sexual dysfunction by improving overall health. They work over time to enhance blood flow, balance hormones, reduce stress, and boost energy.
​Here are some of the herbs you mentioned and others known for their benefits in male sexual health: ​Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): This herb is an adaptogen, meaning it helps your body manage stress. Stress and anxiety are major psychological contributors to erectile dysfunction (ED). Ashwagandha is also known to help boost testosterone levels, improve stamina, and increase overall vitality.
​Shilajit: A mineral-rich resin, Shilajit is known for its rejuvenating and anti-aging properties. It is believed to improve energy, physical endurance, and sexual desire. It is also said to help with testosterone production and sperm quality.
​Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris): This herb is traditionally used to enhance testosterone levels and improve blood flow to the pelvic region, which is crucial for achieving an erection. It is also known to boost sexual desire and performance.
​Kaunch Beej (Mucuna pruriens): This herb contains L-dopa, a precursor to dopamine. It is believed to improve mood, reduce stress, and enhance libido and sexual performance. It’s also known to improve stamina and fertility.
​Safed Musli (Chlorophytum borivilianum): Often called “natural Viagra” in some circles, this herb is used to increase stamina, libido, and semen volume. It is believed to have a strengthening effect on reproductive tissues.
​How They Compare to Tadalafil and Viagra ​Tadalafil and Viagra are part of a class of drugs called PDE5 inhibitors. They work by increasing blood flow to the penis, which helps achieve and maintain an erection during sexual stimulation. Their effect is rapid and temporary.
​Ayurvedic herbs, on the other hand, do not work in the same way. They are not designed for a quick, one-time effect. Instead, their benefits are typically seen with consistent, long-term use. The goal is to improve your body’s natural function and vitality rather than to provide a temporary solution. ​Potential Side Effects ​While Ayurvedic medicines are often considered to have fewer side effects than synthetic drugs, they are not without risk, especially when used without proper guidance. The effects can vary from person to person depending on their body type (Prakriti) and current health conditions.
​Given your pre-existing conditions (high eye pressure and high cholesterol), it is extremely important to be cautious. ​High Eye Pressure (Glaucoma): Tadalafil and Viagra are known to have side effects on vision and eye pressure, and you are right to be concerned. While Ayurvedic herbs are generally not associated with this specific side effect, it is essential to consult with your Ayurvedic doctor and your ophthalmologist to ensure there are no contraindications.
​High Cholesterol: The herbs you are taking may be beneficial for your cholesterol and triglycerides, as you have already seen with the help of Madhavbaug clinic medicines. Continue to monitor these levels closely under medical supervision. ​Guidance on Usage ​Since you are already taking several of these herbs and a healthy lifestyle, you are on the right track. The idea of taking a medicine “once in every quarter or 6 months” for a specific action, similar to how one might use Tadalafil or Viagra, is not how most Ayurvedic herbs work. Their effectiveness comes from sustained, consistent use to build and maintain health. ​Crucial Steps for You: ​ Do not self-prescribe or change your regimen.

​Inform All Your Doctors: It is essential to tell both your Ayurvedic practitioner and the doctors managing your high eye pressure and cholesterol about all the supplements and medicines you are taking. This is the only way to ensure there are no negative interactions or risks. ​Continue Your Current Routine: The healthy diet, brisk walking, and exercise are crucial. These lifestyle factors are foundational to the Ayurvedic approach and have a profound impact on your overall health, including sexual function.
​Listen to Your Body: Pay close attention to how you feel. If you experience any adverse effects, stop the medication immediately and consult your doctors. ​In summary, there are no “Ayurvedic Viagra” pills that provide a quick, temporary effect like Tadalafil. The Ayurvedic approach focuses on improving your overall health and vitality over time, which in turn can lead to better sexual function and performance

In Ayurvedic tradition, rather than focusing on symptomatic treatment like Viagra or Tadalafil, the approach is on balancing the doshas and strengthening vitality, which is key for sexual health. You’re already using some powerful herbs like Shilajit, Ashwagandha, and Gokshura, which are known to enhance overall vigor and stamina.

In addition, a Vajikarana therapy, which focuses on improving reproductive health, can be considered. For an Ayurvedic alternative that might parallel effects of Tadalafil or Viagra, you might look into herbs like Safed Musli or Vidarikand. These herbs support reproductive tissues, increase stamina and vitality. Consider taking Safed Musli powder—around 1/4 teaspoon—mixed with milk once a day. This could be standardized and adjusted according to your constitution (prakriti) and body’s response.

Regarding your high eye pressure and cholesterol, these conditions must be handled with care as they can complicate further health concerns. While herbs can support your body’s health, professional consultation with an Ayurveda doctor is recommended for personalized and precise prescriptions, particularly when managing existing health conditions.

Keep in mind that managing stress and maintaining your walking exercise are crucial for maintaining healthy pressure along with cholesterol levels. Consistently monitor your health condition, especially if incorporating any new supplement or exercise to your regimen.

Since drug interactions can occur, or conditions may worsen, it’s necessary have back-up consultation with a healthcare professional before introducing new remedies into your routine, especially given your health circumstances.

HELLO SHUBHAM,

In Ayurveda, there is no exact substitute for viagra and tadalafil, but there are rasayana and vajikarana herbs that improve Ojas, stamina, and shukra dhatu gradually not instantly like viagra and tadalafil

COMMON VAGIKARAN RASAYANA -shilajit, Ashwagandha, gokshudra, kaunch bej- you arę already taking, these help long term -safed musli, vidarikand, akarkara, kapikacchu- traditionally used as natural aphrodisiac

IMPORTANT -these herbs act slowly, building natural strength and stamina- not immediate erection like viagra/tadalifill -side effects are minimal if taken in proper dose -since you have high eye pressure and cholesterol avoid strong heating/pungent Rasayana without supervision

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA
