I’m sorry to hear about the struggles you’re experiencing with fertility and impotence. In Ayurveda, understanding and balancing your unique constitution, or prakriti, is vital. So let’s dive into it.
For low sperm count and erectile difficulties, Ayurveda looks at how your dhatus (tissues) and agni (digestive fire) might be affected. This is usually linked to a Vata or Pitta imbalance, and strengthening the Shukra dhatu, responsible for reproductive health, can makes a big difference.
Ashwagandha is a well-known herb to enhance sperm quality and boost vitality. You can take it as a churna (powder), mixed with warm milk before bed, ideally starting with a 3-5 gram dose. Be consistent; improvements might start showing in about a month, although it can take several months for significant changes, so patience is key.
Shatavari can also support reproductive tissues. You might consider it in capsule form if that’s easier. And, it’s crucial to maintain a warm digestive fire, focusing on consuming freshly cooked meals rich in whole grains, nuts like almonds (soak them overnight), and dairy products if well-tolerated.
Avoid excessive caffeine, alcohol, and smoking as these can aggravate the symptoms and imbalance your doshas. Also, including ghee in your daily intake can actually improve overall energy and tissue nourishment.
Incorporating yoga like Vajrasana after meals can aid digestion, while poses, like Pashchimottanasana and Sarvangasana, directly support reproductive health.
For impotence, Til oil massage might be beneficial. Warm the oil slighty and apply it to the body to balance Vata, ideally before a warm bath.
Having a stress reduction practice, like Pranayama or meditation, would be great too, as stress often exacerbates such issues. However, I must mention that if conditions don’t improve, seeing a healthcare professional would be wise. Always remember, these practices may take time, and achieving long-term results often depends on persistent and tailored efforts.
