how does ayurveda view masturbation and its impact on health? - #2009

Anonymously

I’ve been reading conflicting advice about masturbation in Ayurveda. Some sources claim it’s a natural act that has no negative effects, while others say it can lead to ojas depletion and loss of vital energy, causing issues like fatigue and reduced focus. I’ve been experiencing low energy and poor concentration lately, and I’m wondering if this habit could be affecting my health. Does Ayurveda really consider frequent masturbation harmful? If so, what are the recommended remedies or lifestyle changes to restore balance? Any herbs or specific practices to regain lost energy would be helpful.

Doctors’ responses

In Ayurveda, excessive masturbation is believed to deplete Ojas (vital energy), which can lead to fatigue, low concentration, and mental fog. This loss of energy is linked to a depletion of vital fluids and Prana (life force). Effects on Health: Ojas Depletion: Frequent masturbation can weaken Ojas, leading to physical and mental exhaustion, reduced focus, and low energy. Dosha Imbalance: Overindulgence can disturb Vata and Pitta, causing irritability and energy depletion. Ayurvedic Remedies: Herbs: Ashwagandha: Boosts stamina, vitality, and mental clarity. Shatavari: Supports energy and reproductive health. Brahmi: Enhances focus and reduces mental fatigue. Guduchi: Rejuvenates and supports the immune system. Diet: Eat nutritious, grounding foods like ghee, almonds, and dates. Avoid spicy and processed foods that can deplete energy. Lifestyle: Practice Abhyanga (oil massage) with sesame oil to restore energy. Engage in meditation, yoga, and pranayama to improve focus and energy. Ensure adequate sleep for restoring Ojas. Conclusion: While moderate sexual activity is fine, excessive masturbation can deplete Ojas and energy. To restore balance, focus on herbs, diet, and lifestyle changes. Consult an Ayurvedic Doctor for personalized guidance.
