How to Do Masturbation the Right Way Without Causing Health Issues? - #15527

Hey, your question isn't weird at all, it's actually something many people wonder about. Masturbation's a natural human activity, but understanding how it fits within Ayurveda offers some unique insights. In Ayurveda, anything done in moderation is usually seen as okay, so a few times a week doesn't seem excessive. And hey, it's important to notice how activities make you feel! Now, about feeling tired or getting headaches afterward, that's where things get interesting. In Ayurveda, we talk about "Ojas", which is this subtle energy that supports your vitality and immunity. If your energy feels drained, it might indicate that the activity is affecting your Ojas. But don’t worry; it’s not an all or nothing thing. Firstly, consider evaluating your current state—your doshic balance (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) because fluctuations might be causing these symptoms. If you often feel anxious or restless (Vata imbalance), or you notice digestive issues like acid reflux (Pitta imbalance), these can be signs that your system isn’t handling stress well. A suggestion? Try to engage in masturbation while in a relaxed state, not just when you're stressed. Being in a calm, peaceful mind might help maintain Ojas. You could try grounding activities like Abhyanga (self-massage with warm sesame oil) or Sip warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg at night to soothe the nervouse system. And here’s a funny twist—yes, Ayurvedic texts say semen or "Shukra" is linked to Ojas, but it’s a bit of a misconception it’s that fragile. Balance it out by supporting your Ojas through diet, like including almonds, fresh fruits, and ghee in your meals. Practicing meditation and pranayama to lower stress can be powerful too. Remember to listen to your body, if something feels off, giving it a break might be all you need. As usual, include consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice—that can really help target solutions to your unique body type and lifestyle, giving you better insights into what's happening with energy levels and help integrate positive practices without any guilt hanging over your head. So yeah, it’s all about balance. Keep it enjoyable, guilt-free, and tuned into how your body feels. 🤗
