If your sex time is feeling short, that’s something we can work on with Ayurveda, but it’s important to take depression seriously. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or struggling to cope day-to-day, it might be wise to also seek a consultation with a mental health professional — that part’s really crucial.
Now, for the Ayurvedic angle, premature ejaculation is seen as a vata dosha imbalance. The goal here is to balance vata and bring stability to both mind and body. Let’s start with diet; focus on grounding, nourishing foods to keep the vata calm. Warm meals like soups or stews, ghee, oatmeal, and root vegetables are really helpful. You want to minimize raw, cold foods and stimulants like caffeine.
You could try Ashwagandha, a classic adaptogen, known for supporting sexual health and reducing anxiety. Dose-wise, typically it’s about 1 tsp of the powdered root in warm milk with honey, taken at bedtime, but best to consult locally on exact amounts as they could vary.
Routine is also key! Regularize your daily schedule - meals, sleep, and wake times, exercise. Meditation and pranayama (breathing exercises) can quiet the mind. The alternate nostril breathing 5 minutes each morning works wonders in reducing stress. Consistency here goes a long way.
Self massage with warm sesame oil before a shower can be super nourishing. It soothes nerves and enhances stamina. Just warm the oil, apply, wait for 15 mins, then shower.
And hey, don’t forget to rate your stress levels. Lowering those overall helps with both sexual performance and depressive moods. Building relaxation into your life little bits at a time can make a big difference.
Timing matters too. Avoid eating heavy meals right before bed, and give yourself some space to unwind before trying intimate activities.
Be patient, though! These approaches take time. If things don’t improve or you feel worse, definitely check in with your doctor for personalized care.
