Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

To address weakened erections stemming from porn addiction, the principles of Ayurveda offer holistic pathways toward healing. In Ayurveda, this condition could be rooted in an imbalance in the Vata dosha, impacting your Prana Vata and Shukra Dhatu, which are key to sexual health. Here's a focused approach you can use to strengthen erections naturally, with remedies centered around diet, lifestyle, and Ayurvedic treatments. First, incorporate foods known to balance Vata like warm, cooked meals, seasoned with digestive spices such as cumin, coriander, and fennel. A daily bowl of kitchari—a mixture of rice and mung dal—provides nourishment without taxing digestion. For a stronger Shukra Dhatu, almonds soaked overnight, adding them with a bit of saffron and cardamom can enhance reproductive health. Ghee is particularly valuable to lubricate and nourish tissues; add a spoonful to your meals. As for herbal support, Ashwagandha is renowned for its aphrodisiac properties and can be taken twice daily in powdered form with warm milk. Another classical herb, Shatavari, supports overall vitality, also works well with milk. Practice Abhyanga (self-massage) with warm sesame oil before a shower; it can help to pacify erratic Vata energy, promoting calmness. In terms of lifestyle, prioritise a regular sleep schedule to regulate circadian rhythms, as sleep disruption affects hormone levels and sexual function. Aim also for stress reduction through yoga or pranayama—alternate nostril breathing—focusing particularly on slower exhale to balance energy. Lastly, if improvement is sluggish or issues persist, consult an expert Ayurvedic physician for tailored guidance, as excessive symptoms may indicate deeper imbalances. Meanwhile, keeping away from porn exposure is singularly important to break the cycle and encourage healthy erections naturally.

hello raj, Thank you for sharing so honestly it takes courage to admit this, and you're already doing the right thing by quitting porn and focusing on real emotional connection. What you're going through is more common than you think, especially at your age. Watching too much porn overstimulates the Dopamine-Reward system in the brain and disconnects mind from the body which leads to poor erections in real situations, low confidence, and even emotional numbness. In Ayurveda, this is seen as Shukra Kshaya (reproductive depletion) with Vata imbalance in the Manovaha and Shukravaha Srotas (mind and sexual channels). Since you also had a history of fits (which is a Majja vaha srotas condition), your system is a little more sensitive but absolutely treatable. ✅ What You’re Already Doing Right Quitting porn – excellent first step Focusing on real connection – this naturally grounds Vata and strengthens Ojas Awareness of the pattern – most people never even reach this point 🌿 internal. medications to Restore Erections and Mind-Body Connection Ashwagandha Avaleha – 1 tsp with warm milk twice daily (builds strength + calms mind) Saraswatarishta – 15 ml with equal water after meals (for nervous system + concentration) Kameshwar Modak – 1 modak early morning with milk (strengthens Shukra dhatu + improves libido) Shilajit capsule – 1 capsule at night with milk Brahmi Ghrita – ¼ tsp early morning empty stomach (restores brain-sexual coordination) 🧘‍♂️ Mind-Body Recovery Practices Do Bhramari + Anulom Vilom pranayama 10 mins daily Sit in Padmasana/Siddhasana with eyes closed and focus on breath after sunrise Avoid phone screen before sleeping (at least 1 hour gap) Don’t suppress sleep, hunger, or natural urges — let Vata stay balanced 🍽️ Diet Tips Warm, fresh, ghee-rich food Include soaked almonds, dates, black sesame, cow ghee, moong dal Avoid over-spicy, stale food, soft drinks, and night heavy meals No coffee, no cold drinks, no late nights 🩺 Optional Investigations Serum Vitamin D3 Serum Testosterone Vitamin B12 Thyroid Profile You’re just 23 — your body can bounce back quickly. You’ve already taken the most important step by quitting the addictive habit. Now give your body and mind the right support to restore balance, confidence, and performance — not artificially, but naturally and deeply. If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, regards, dr.Karthika.
