In Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition, we view libido issues as a result of imbalances in the doshas, particularly vata and kapha, which could be impacting your body’s natural energy and vitality. To consider a “natural viagra,” we often focus on herbs known for their aphrodisiac properties while also enhancing your overall health and well-being.
Mucuna pruriens, known as “Kapikacchu,” is a well-regarded herb for boosting libido. It helps increase testosterone levels and reduces stress. Consuming it as a powder mixed with warm milk can be effective. Start with a small dose, like 1/4 teaspoon, and see how your body responds, gradually increasing if necessary.
Ashwagandha is another herb known for its rejuvenating and balancing properties. It can help manage stress and increase energy and vitality, aiding libido. Mixing a teaspoon with ghee or warm milk before bedtime can be beneficial.
Safed Musli is also highly regarded for its strength-enhancing and libido-boosting properties. Taking it in powder form, combined with milk, in the morning can help.
Dietary changes can support these herbs’ benefits. Focus on warm, cooked foods with sweet and salty flavors, which aid in pacifying vata dosha. Incorporate healthy fats like ghee and nuts to nourish the body tissues, especially shukra dhatu, which is linked to reproductive health.
Make sure your digestion (agni) is strong. Eating at regular times, avoiding overly heavy or cold foods, and staying hydrated supports this. If these approaches don’t bring improvement, it would be wise to consult a trained practitioner to assess your condition more closely. They can offer a personalized plan considering all aspects of your health and lifestyle.
