how to improve sex power - #23627

Sofia

I am really worried about my libido lately. I mean, I’m in my late 30s, and it feels like my sex power is just... fading? It’s embarrassing, honestly. I used to have a good amount of energy and drive, but now I find myself tired all the time, not just physically but also mentally. A couple of months ago, I visited my doctor for some tests; hormone levels were fine, but it's like something's off. I’ve even tried a few supplements, but nothing seems to be working. A friend mentioned asking about Ayurveda and how to improve sex power naturally, but I'm clueless where to start. What foods or herbs would you suggest? I’ve heard about things like ashwagandha and shatavari — do they actually help? Do they take a long time to show results? I feel like I’m stuck in this rut, and I just want to feel like myself again. Any tips on how to improve sex power would be super appreciated!

Improving sex power through Ayurveda involves nurturing both body and mind, addressing both physical vitality and mental well-being. It sounds like you’re working hard to find a solution, so let’s look what Ayurveda can do for you.

First and foremost, identify your dosha type (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha) since it will guide any personalized recommendations. Without a detailed understanding of your prakriti, I can offer you general guidelines.

Ashwagandha, as you mentioned, is indeed a powerful rasayana (rejuvenative herb) in Ayurveda famous for its ability to balance Vata and Kapha doshas, so yes, it’s essential in boosting stamina and libido. You can take it in powder form with warm milk, preferably before bed, as it also aids in a good night’s sleep.

Shatavari is another beneficial herb, traditionally used to enhance sexual function, especially if you lean towards Pitta dosha imbalance. It works well for hormonal balance and increased vitality. Three to five grams per day of shatavari powder mixed with milk or warm water is recommended.

Diet plays a crucial role, so consider foods that build ojas, which is essential for sexual vitality. Incorporate almonds, sesame seeds, figs, and a moderate amount of dairy like ghee and milk into your daily meals. Balance your diet with warm, slightly oily and well-spiced foods as it aids agni (digestive fire), key to overall vitality.

Routine is equally important. A regular sleep schedule is vital; aim for at least 7-8 hours. Morning sun exposure helps balance hormones naturally. Yoga and meditation can substantially reduce stress, increasing sexual energy. Practice ‘Nadi Shodhana’ (alternate nostril breathing) to calm the mind and stimulate energy flow.

Ayurveda believes in the harmony of lifestyle patterns, diet, and herbs for optimal results - it’s not a one-day miracle but a journey towards balance. Consistency is key, so stick with these practices for a couple of months to witness significant changes. If imbalance persists, it’s wise to consult a local Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance. Prioritize small, sustainable steps to rediscover your energy, and allow natural rhythms to guide your wellness journey.
