Hey, sorry to hear that you’re going through this. Premature ejaculation can be a bit of a tricky issue, but Ayurveda offers some good options that might help. Instead of just jumping into herbal supplements, let’s look at it more holistically, okay? Stress and lack of sleep are big culprits in this case.
First off, yes, ashwagandha is known for its adaptogenic properties—basically, it helps your body manage stress, which can be a game changer. I’d say start with a daily dose of ashwagandha powder, about 1 teaspoon mixed with warm milk before going to bed. But remember, consistency is key here!
Shatavari is another good one, mainly known for its rejuvenating properties. Consider adding shatavari powder to your routine, a teaspoon a day mixed in warm water or milk, but take this in the morning since it can boost energy.
As for the oils, look for Ayurvedic oils like Brahmi oil or Bala oil for external application. Massaging the lower abdomen gently with these oils can be helpful. Make it a 10-minute routine before your bath a few times a week, don’t overdo it.
Lifestyle changes are super important too. Mindfulness practices like yoga and pranayama can lower stress levels and improve overall stamina. Even 15 minutes of mindfulness or meditation daily can make a big diff. Plus, they improve your praana (life energy) which could be depleted due to stress.
Here’s a quick dietary suggestion—focus on foods that balance Vata like warm, oily foods, and you might wanna avoid too much caffeine or spicing things up too much. Geez, it’s all about finding that balance.
And yes, aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep. Sounds basic, but it’s often overlooked, and trust me, it matters a ton. Quality rest repairs and nourishes the dhatus (tissues) and mind.
Lastly, if things don’t improve, you might wanna consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for a more personalized approach. Ayurveda focuses on the root cause, so getting that checked would be a good technique.
Hang in there. It takes time, but with a mix of herbs, lifestyle tweaks and maybe some patience, you’ll get through this. 🕉️
