Doctors’ responses
You’re 43, and facing low sexual desire, weak erections, and feel worse with “hot” or strong tonics. This shows your body is overheated and tired inside. Here's what you can do:
What to Avoid:
Spicy, oily, fried foods
Pickles, vinegar, red chilli, garlic
Alcohol, smoking, and late-night habits
Strong sexual tonics like Shilajit, Kaunch Beej, etc. — they may be too hot for your system
What to Eat More:
Fresh fruits like banana, pomegranate, dates, mango
Warm milk with a little ghee
Soft food like moong dal khichdi, rice, pumpkin
Soaked almonds, figs (2–3 daily)
Helpful Ayurvedic Supplements (Mild & Cooling):
Shatavari granules – builds strength gently
Yashtimadhu (Licorice) powder – calms body and nerves
Chyawanprash (mild or sugar-free) – boosts energy
Phala Ghrita – for overall reproductive health
Ashwagandha arishta – only in small dose if your body accepts it
Lifestyle Tips:
Sleep before 10:30 PM, avoid mobile/laptop after 9 PM
Gentle yoga – especially butterfly pose or sitting stretches
Daily meditation or deep breathing for 10–15 minutes
Your body needs cooling, calming, and natural nourishment — not heat or forceful medicines.
With a few simple changes, your strength, mood, and desire will naturally return.

hello Gaurav ,
You’re not alone in this what you’re going through is very real, and it’s not just about low libido or ED on the surface. In your case, there seems to be a Pitta imbalance that’s slowly depleting the Shukra Dhatu (reproductive vitality) and disturbing the natural desire, strength, and stability that comes with it.What makes this unique is your sensitivity to ushna (hot) medicines, which means we have to rebuild from a cooler, nourishing angle not force the body into stimulation, but restore what’s been quietly exhausted. Also, since your B12, D, and other nutrients are good, it shows this isn’t about deficiency it’s more about imbalance in rasa-shukra flow and inner heat regulation.
That’s where Ayurvedic Rasayana, along with some mild Shodhana, comes in to help rebuild from the root without aggravating anything.
Investigations (to rule out silent underlying causes)
Serum Free & Total Testosterone
Serum FSH, LH, Prolactin
Lipid Profile (cholesterol/HDL/LDL)
Liver Function Test
CBC + ESR
Urine routine
Fasting blood sugar (to double-check)
These help ensure we’re not missing subtle hormone or metabolic causes.
Shodhana (cleansing) suggestion – if accessible
Since you’re Pitta-sensitive, we avoid strong Virechana.
Try Mridu Virechana with Trivrit Avaleha or Mahatiktaka Ghrita 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime, once in 5–7 days for a month.
This clears out mild Ama and excess Pitta from the liver and intestines, which often blocks the normal flow of desire and hormonal rhythm.
If available, a short course of Basti with Shatavari + Bala Siddha Taila in a Panchakarma centre (3–5 sessions) can strengthen Apana Vata and improve natural libido without hot herbs.
internal medication-(Pitta-sensitive Rasayana approach)
Shatavari Kalpa – 1 tsp with warm milk morning and night
Yashtimadhu Ghrita – ¼ tsp empty stomach in morning with warm water
Saraswatarishta – 15 ml with equal water at night
Vasant Kusumakar Ras (plain) – 1 tab after breakfast (if affordable)
Abhyanga with Bala-Ashwagandhadi oil or Kshirabala Taila – 3x/week
Diet & Daily Routine
Take early, warm, fresh meals. Avoid leftover, spicy, sour, fermented food.
Use cow’s ghee in cooking.
Soaked almonds, dry dates, and saffron milk at night help strengthen Shukra.
Avoid cold water, fridge foods, night scrolling, emotional suppression.
This plan works gently and steadily. It doesn’t push — it restores. The spark and strength will come back with time, and your system won’t feel overheated or agitated while healing.
If you have any doubts, you can contact me.
Take care, regards,
dr.Karthika.
