Dr. Sanjay P Patil
I’m Dr. Sanjay P. Patil (BAMS, PGDEMS, MHA), and my approach to healthcare is rooted in a unique integration of classical Ayurvedic wisdom and modern emergency medicine. With formal training in Ayurveda and a Postgraduate Diploma in Emergency Medical Services, I’ve developed the ability to assess and treat a wide spectrum of conditions—ranging from chronic lifestyle disorders to acute medical situations—within hospital settings. Throughout my career, I’ve worked across various hospitals, where I’ve had the opportunity to manage patients with diverse health concerns. This exposure has enriched my clinical experience, enabling me to make informed, timely decisions, whether it involves stabilizing emergency cases or offering long-term Ayurvedic care for chronic ailments. My goal has always been to deliver patient-centered care that is both effective and compassionate. I place equal emphasis on accurate diagnosis, dosha-based treatment planning, and practical recovery strategies. Whether managing a cardiac emergency, treating a chronic skin disorder, or advising on preventive health through Ayurvedic principles, I aim to bring balance, safety, and healing to every clinical interaction. I firmly believe that combining the depth of Ayurveda with the precision of emergency care protocols not only improves patient outcomes but also broadens the scope of integrative medicine in hospital practice. I remain committed to advancing holistic care in both acute and long-term settings, with a focus on sustainable, natural healing.

When it comes to boosting libido through Ayurveda, the focus is often on balancing the doshas, improving digestion and enhancing vitality. For both women and men, Ayurveda emphasizes nourishing foods that support ojas rather than deplete it. Ojas is the vital energy, essentially related to immunity, strength and vitality including sexual health. For improving libido, consuming warm, well-cooked, and easy to digest meals is usually recommended. Items like ghee, milk, nuts (especially almonds and walnuts), seeds (like pumpkin and sesame), saffron, and honey are commonly advised. These are known for their nourishing qualities and ability to boost reproductive tissue (shukra dhatu). Spices such as ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom can enhance overall circulation and thus improve sexual health. On the other hand, certain foods should be minimized or avoided as they can hinder libido. Excessive consumption of processed foods, caffeine, refined sugar, and overly spicy or salty foods might disturb the doshas, particularly Pitta, which can lead to irritability or imbalance in sexual desire. Cold and heavy foods, like ice cream or dense sweets, might dampen digestive fire (agni), also affecting libido. Scientific evidence is mixed but emerging, with some studies hinting at the libido-enhancing qualities of certain Ayurvedic herbs like Ashwagandha, Shatavari and Tribulus. However, more research is required to conclusively prove these effects. Daily lifestyle choices also play a crucial role; practices like yoga and meditation can enhance libido by reducing stress and improving overall well-being. It's important for each individual to consider their unique constitution (prakriti) along with any underlying health conditions - consulting with a skilled practitioner is often beneficial for personalized recommendations. Remember, lifestyle plays a enormous role. Regular exercise and adequate sleep are vital for maintaining sexual health. Sudden or severe loss of libido can sometimes be a symptom of an underlying medical condition, so it's wise to seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
