Doctors’ responses
Addressing a long-standing addiction such as this requires a structured approach grounded in the principles of Siddha-Ayurveda. When faced with issues like sexual exhaustion and inability to engage in natural sex, it’s essential to first address the imbalance in your doshas, particularly the Vata dosha, which can become aggravated by such habits.
Strengthening your Ojas, considered the essence of all the bodily tissues, is key here. Start by incorporating foods that are nourishing and sattvic, such as cow’s ghee, milk, and almonds. These should be consumed regularly to promote tissue rejuvenation. Avoid excessive spices, caffeine, and processed foods as these can further deplete your Ojas and exacerbate Vata imbalance.
Prone masturbation can cause pressure on genital nerves and vessels, leading to dysfunction. It’s crucial to gradually reduce this practice and substitute it with healthier behaviors. Engaging in yogic exercises like pranayama (breathing exercises) can help calm your mind and regulate pranic flow.
Herbal formulations specific to your condition may include the use of Ashwagandha for its rejuvenating properties and Shatavari, which can help balance male hormones and improve stamina. A concoction like Ashwagandha Lepa could be applied externally to the lower back region to assist in strengthening sexual tissues.
Always ensure digestion remains efficient, as poor digestion impacts mental and physical equilibrium. Taking Trikatu churna before meals might help improve Agni, the digestive fire, thus supporting nutrition absorption and metabolic function.
Regularity in sleeping patterns and stress management techniques, such as meditation, is important to support mental clarity and emotional stability, which aids in the recovery process. If symptoms persist or worsen, consulting with a healthcare professional to address the psychological aspects of the addiction might be necessary to get a more comprehensive plan set up.
To address the issue of porn and masturbation addiction in Ayurveda, we first recognize the need to balance your doshas and rejuvenate your Ojas—vital energy which is affected by overindulgence. The focus is on enhancing your vitality and addressing the physical and mental impact of the addiction.
Start with nourishing your body and mind. Diet plays a crucial role. Aim to consume sattvic foods that enhance peaceful mental state and help regenerate tissues, like milk, ghee, fresh fruits, and vegetables. Almonds soaked overnight and eaten in the morning are beneficial, as they build vitality. Include whole grains like brown rice or quinoa in your meals to help stabilize energy levels.
Herbal support can be particularly effective. Ashwagandha is renowned for enhancing strength and energy, while Shatavari supports reproductive health. Take Ashwagandha powder with warm milk before bed, and Shatavari with water twice daily. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for precise dosage recommendations, as needs can vary based on your unique constitution.
Pranayama and meditation will be essential for mental clarity and improving self-control. Practice Anulom Vilom (Nadi Shodhana) daily to balance the mind. Dedicate at least 20 minutes to quiet meditation, focusing on grounding and centering your thoughts.
Daily routine should incorporate exercise—yoga is particularly recommended—promoting physical health and reducing stress. Poses such as Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) and Vajrasana (Thunderbolt Pose) support reproductive organs’ strength and function. Commit to a regular sleeping pattern, ensuring at least 7-8 hours of restful sleep to aid in the recovery of Ojas.
In situations where professional counseling or therapy can effectively support overcoming addiction, don’t hesitate to seek such assistance. It’s essential to address emotional and psychological aspects alongside physical health to create sustainable recovery and enhance your capacity for natural intimacy.
