How to treat premature ejaculation - #12243

I see where you’re coming from, and it’s super frustrating! Getting rid of premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction involves a bit of patience and consistent changes in lifestyle – but honestly, you're already on the right track by leaving behind some of those habits. Alright, so in Ayurveda, this is often tied to two main things: your dosha balance and shukra dhatu (the reproductive tissue). When there's an imbalance, it might affect stamina and performance. Considering you've moved away from smoking and masturbation, which is awesome, let’s build on that. Diet comes first, in Ayurveda, right? Eating foods that nourish shukra dhatu helps. Try including warm, cooked foods like ghee, almonds (soaked overnight), sesame seeds, and milk. Avoid spicy, super sour, or excessively salty foods cause they might aggravate pitta or vata doshas, which could mess with your performance. Practicing daily Abhyanga (self-massage) is also impactful – use warm sesame oil or ashwagandha oil, focusing on your lower back and legs. This not only grounds vata but helps with stress and circulation, benefitting erectile function. Now, the mind-body connection is huge here. Regular yoga and Pranayama, especially Anulom Vilom and deep belly breathing, help calm the mind and enhance focus, which can be a game-changer for stamina. Plus Pranayama boosts your vital energy or 'prana', feeding the dhatus. Herbs like Ashwagandha and Shatavari can be valuable too. They’re like adaptogens in Western terms, supporting the body’s coping mechanisms against stress and improving vitality. A teaspoon with warm milk every evening might help, but it's always good to chat with an Ayurvedic doc in person to personalize this even more. Lastly, try being gentle with yourself, man. Performance anxiety can seriously be a cycle. Mindfulness or simple relaxation techniques before intimate moments can help you enjoy the experience rather than getting anxious about timing. Stay consistent, listen to your body, and it takes time but you'll find balance.
