HELLO PRASAD SHETTAR,
Your body is giving signs that it’s tired and overworked. Irregular meals, mental tension, and age-related changes slow down blood circulation and reduce strength in the reproductive system.
ED doesn’t always mean something is seriously wrong it often starts from digestion weakness, low testosterone, or minor prostate swelling. You might feel fine otherwise, but internally, your Shukra dhatu (reproductive strength) is drying up due to stress and poor nourishment.Let’s fix it through gentle internal tonics and food discipline. Also, we’ll support your prostate naturally while improving energy, confidence, and stamina.
Morning (Empty Stomach):
Ashwagandha Lehyam – 1 tsp with warm milk Chyawanprash – 1 tsp (alternate days)
After Breakfast:
Shilajit Capsule – 1 capsule Vrihani Gutika – 1 tablet
After Lunch:
Chandraprabha Vati – 1 tablet (for prostate and urinary health)
Evening (6–7 PM):
1 glass warm milk + ½ tsp Gokshura churna + a pinch of nutmeg
Night (Before Sleep):
Swarna Bhasma + Ashwagandha + Musli Pak (in capsule or churnam form – if available)
Simple Daily Routine Tips Eat 3 meals on time, no skipping Avoid cold water, excess tea, fried snacks at office Soak 5 almonds + 5 black raisins + 2 dates at night → eat next morning 20 mins evening walk or slow yoga (helps circulation) Sleep before 10:30 PM : Please do these tests to rule out underlying issues:
Serum Testosterone (Total + Free) PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) FBS/PPBS (Blood sugar) Lipid Profile CBC (basic health check) Vitamin D3, B12
This condition is reversible in most cases with right food, stress control, and Ayurvedic support. You’ll notice better energy, mood, and performance within 3–4 weeks.
If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, Regards, DR. Karthika
Erectile dysfunction at your age can have various causes, and it’s essential to address them comprehensively. In Ayurveda, conditions like this often relate to imbalances in your doshas - mainly vata and pitta which may be disturbed due to stress, irregular schedules, and poor dietary habits. Let’s explore some practical steps you could take.
Firstly, consider incorporating Ashwagandha and Safed Musli into your daily routine. These herbs are known for their rejuvenative properties on the reproductive system. For Ashwagandha, take about 5 grams of powder mixed with warm milk or water twice a day. Safed Musli can also be consumed in a similar manner, about 2-3 grams daily.
Your digestive fire, or “agni”, plays a significant role in energy levels and vitality. Try to establish regular meal times, as skipping meals can lead to a weak agni. Favor a diet that’s warm, cooked and oily to pacify vata dosha. Include foods like whole grains, nuts, seeds and ghee. Avoid overly spicy, salty, and excessively sour foods that can aggravate pitta dosha.
Stress management is crucial. Implement daily practices such as yoga, meditation or pranayama (breathing exercises) to calm mind and reduce workload stress. Dedicate at least 15-20 mins daily for relaxation.
Since you mentioned prostate concerns, it’s important to investigate further by consulting a medical professional for appropriate screenings, such as PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) tests. While these practices support well-being, they are not alternatives for necessary medical assessments.
Additionally, make it a point to stay hydrated and get adequate sleep. Poor sleep can exacerbate stress and disturb vata and pitta. Aim for at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night. Caffeine and stimulants, especially in the evening, should be avoided to ensure restful sleep.
It’s important to address these issues comprehensively. Remember, these suggestions should complement any medical advice and not replace it, especially if you suspect an underlying prostate issue.
