Start with Divya Cap Ashwashila 1-0-1 after food with water Divya youvanamrit gold 0-0-1 at bedtime with warm milk. Apply ashwagandha bala oil/ Shilajit oil on penis externally twice daily Alcohol Impact on Erectile Dysfunction and Ayurvedic Treatment So it’s better you stop intake of alcohol
HELLO VANSH,
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN YOUR BODY? In Ayurveda, ED is commonly referred to as “Klaibya” or "Shukra kshaya (weakness of reproductive tissue).
Your sexual power depends on shukra dhatu, the final and most refined product of digestion and metabolism. It’s like the “cream” of your body’s nourishment system.
If Shukra dhatu becomes weak or imbalanced, it leads to -poor erection -reduced libido -fatigue or premature ejaculation -low confidence, anxiety
WHAT DISTURBS SHUKRA DHATU? -Alcohol (burns Ojas, deranges vata and pitta) -mental stress, overthinking, anxiety -poor sleep -junk, spicy, dry or stale food -overuse of digital screens or pornography -irregular lifestyle (eating/sleeping late)
In your case, alcohol caused a relapse because it -disrupted your metabolic fire -re-aggravated vata dosha (dryness, instability, poor tissue formation) -led to loss of Ojas (the vital essence)
TREATMENT GOALS -balance doshas especially vata and pitta -improve agni- digestive strength to form quality tissues -nourish dhatus= especially shukra -build Ojas= vitality, immunity, mental stability -calm the mind= reduce stress, overthinking, anxiety -restore confidence= through consistent internal and external therapy

Hello vansh, 1. Which ayurvedic medicines are you taking currently? 2.From when are you taking these?
Don’t worry dear,
*Ayurveda emphasizes a holistic approach, focusing on the root cause of illness and promoting overall well-being through lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, and herbal remedies. Conventional medicine often focuses on quickly alleviating symptoms using synthetic drugs.
* This is why Ayurveda may take longer to show noticeable results.
Hello Vansh, I can understand your concern but dont worry we are here to help you out😊
👉WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN YOUR CASE
➡️First you got relief using certain ayurvedic medication and after intake of alcohol it aggrevated Alcohol is a strong Vajikarana (sexual health) antagonist in Ayurveda because it ➡️Dries and weakens Shukra dhatu (reducing sperm/sexual vitality) ➡️Disturbs Vata (causing ED, performance anxiety) ➡️Aggravates Pitta (leading to irritability, premature ejaculation, heat in reproductive organs)
So, when you drank alcohol, it reversed part of your healing progress essentially like undoing 2–3 weeks of treatment in one night So. For further improvements you have to avoid alcohol completely
✅IT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IF YOU CAN MENTION THE AYUVEDIC MEDICATION YOU ARE CURRENTLY TAKING.
✅ PLAN OF TREATMENT
✅ Continue Your Medicines exactly as prescribed or you can message us what medication you are taking so if any changes needed we can change
❌ Strict Avoidance: Alcohol (even small amounts) Late night sleeping Porn or any kind of overstimulation
✅Diet modification
Cow milk with 1 tsp Ashwagandha + ½ tsp Shatavari at night Soaked almonds + dates in morning Cow ghee (1–2 tsp/day) Fresh fruits (banana, figs, pomegranate)
✅ Lifestyle Modification
15 min brisk walk or light yoga daily Brahmari & Anulom Vilom pranayama (5–10 min)
Wish you a good health😊
Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate
I understand you are concerned about the recurrence of your symptoms after drinking alcohol, despite being on Ayurvedic treatment. It’s important to understand that Ayurveda takes a holistic approach to health, and lifestyle choices, including alcohol consumption, can significantly impact the effectiveness of the treatment.
Here’s some information that may help you understand the situation better:
1. Alcohol’s Impact on Erectile Dysfunction and Ayurvedic Treatment
Physiological Effects: Alcohol is a known factor that can contribute to erectile dysfunction (ED). It can affect the nervous system, which plays a crucial role in sexual arousal and erection. Excessive alcohol can also impact blood circulation and hormonal balance, both of which are essential for erectile function.
Ayurvedic Perspective: In Ayurveda, excessive alcohol consumption is considered to aggravate the doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta. This imbalance can disrupt the body’s natural processes, including those related to Shukra Dhatu (reproductive tissue), which is vital for sexual health. Your initial recovery was likely due to the medicines restoring this balance, but the alcohol may have disrupted it again.
Interaction with Medicines: While there is limited scientific research on the specific interaction of alcohol with all Ayurvedic herbs, it’s generally advised to avoid or limit alcohol intake during any kind of treatment, as it can interfere with the efficacy of the medicines and may have other negative effects on your health.
2. How Long Does It Take for Ayurvedic Medicines to Work?
Holistic and Gradual Process: Unlike modern medicine, which often aims for a quick fix, Ayurvedic treatment focuses on addressing the root cause of the problem by restoring balance to the body. This is a gradual process that requires consistency and patience.
Timeframe: The time it takes to see results from Ayurvedic treatment for ED can vary greatly from person to person. It depends on several factors, including the severity of the condition, your individual body constitution (Prakriti), and your adherence to the treatment plan, which includes diet and lifestyle changes. Some people may see improvement in a few weeks, while for others, it may take several months.
Consistency is Key: The fact that you saw a recovery initially and then a relapse after drinking alcohol highlights the importance of consistency. To get back on track, you will need to be diligent with your medications and strictly follow the lifestyle and dietary recommendations given
3. What You Should Do Now
Follow the Lifestyle Recommendations: Ayurvedic treatment is not just about taking medicines. It also emphasizes the importance of a healthy lifestyle. This includes:
Diet: Eating a balanced diet with foods that support sexual health, and avoiding heavy, spicy, or junk foods.
Stress Management: Practicing yoga, meditation, and other relaxation techniques to reduce stress, as psychological factors can play a significant role in ED.
Exercise: Engaging in regular physical activity to improve blood circulation and overall vitality.
Abstinence from Alcohol: It’s highly recommended to abstain from alcohol completely while on this treatment to ensure its full effectiveness and prevent further setbacks.
It’s understandable that you’re frustrated, but it’s important to remember that setbacks can happen, especially when the root cause is being addressed. By working closely and committing to a holistic approach, you can likely get back on the path to recovery.
hello Vansh ,
I understand how frustrating this situation can feel. Erectile dysfunction is sensitive to both physical and lifestyle factors. Alcohol can temporarily disturb nerves, circulation, and hormonal balance, which can immediately affect erections. Even though your Ayurvedic medicines were effective before, after alcohol intake, your body needs time to regain its normal balance.
Ayurvedic treatments work gradually to strengthen reproductive tissues, calm the nervous system, and improve circulation, so effects are not instantaneous. Usually, it may take 7–14 days of consistent use after such a disruption for the medicines to show their benefits again.
In addition to medicines, avoiding alcohol and smoking, maintaining regular sleep, reducing stress, and following a healthy diet with warm milk, nuts, ghee, and protein-rich foods will support recovery.
Gentle abhyanga with Bala or Ashwagandha oil can also improve circulation and strength. Patience and strict adherence to lifestyle are key to resuming progress.
Ashwagandha Churna – 3 g with warm milk, once daily at night. Kapikacchu Churna – 2 g with warm milk, once daily at night. Shilajit (processed) – 250 mg with warm milk, once daily. Bala Taila Abhyanga – gently massage lower back, thighs, and genital area, once daily before bath.
Lifestyle Advice: Avoid alcohol and smoking, maintain proper sleep, reduce stress, and follow a nutritious diet as described.
It is important to monitor your progress carefully. After 2–3 weeks of consistent Ayurvedic treatment, you should observe improvement in erection quality and control. If there is no noticeable improvement, it is advisable to consult a physician for further evaluation to rule out any underlying hormonal, vascular, or neurological issues.
Investigations that may help in persistent cases include:
Serum testosterone and hormone profile – to check for hormonal imbalances. Blood sugar and lipid profile – since metabolic issues can affect sexual health. Blood pressure and cardiovascular check-up – to rule out circulation problems.
Keep a daily diary of symptoms, sexual activity, and lifestyle habits to track progress. Regular follow-up ensures that adjustments to medicines or lifestyle can be made effectively.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA
If your Ayurvedic medicine was initially effective and now seems to have lost its potency after alcohol consumption, there might be few reasons to consider. Alcohol can disrupt numerous bodily functions, affect the metabolism of herbs and potentially lead to imbalances, especially of the Pitta dosha, which might be impacting your issue with erectile dysfunction.
Reintroducing the same medicines without adjustments might not be enough, as the body’s condition and balance can change. I’d suggest firstly to reconsider alcohol consumption and make efforts to avoid it when on an Ayurvedic treatment, as it can counteract the effects. Give some time, around 2-4 weeks, for the body to settle and let the remedies work, alcohol-free. However, it’s also important to look at the broader lifestyle factors.
In Ayurveda, ED is often associated with imbalances in the shukra dhatu (reproductive tissue) and vata dosha. Strengthening the digestive fire, agni, alongside targeted herbs, can be beneficial. Foods that are rich in healthy fats, like nuts, seeds, and whole grains, might help nourish the shukra dhatu. Meanwhile, practicing relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation can aid reducing stress, a common contributor to ED, promoting balance in the nervous system.
You may also consider modifying your regimen, incorporating other supportive herbs such as Ashwagandha or Shatavari under guidance, both known for their rejuvenating properties and capability to support sexual health. Also be mindful of your daily routine; regular sleep, balanced diet, and exercise play a vital role.
This approach could enhance effectiveness over time. If the problem persists beyond a few weeks without improvement or if there are worsening symptoms, it might be best to consult directly with an Ayurvedic physician to reassess your treatment strategy.
ED, or erectile dysfunction, can be influenced by dietary and lifestyle choices. It seems the alcohol consumption may have disrupted your system and the equilibrium achieved through your initial treatment. Alcohol can aggravate pitta dosha and impair the body’s ability to maintain healthy sexual function by affecting agni, the digestive and metabolic fire, which is crucial for the balance of doshas.
Firstly, to address the impact of alcohol, it’s essential to abstain from alcohol consumption and any substance that may elevate pitta dosha. Reintroducing practices that help pacify pitta is critical. This includes a diet rich in cooling, hydrating, and grounding foods, such as fresh fruits, cucumbers, and leafy greens. Emphasize meals that are not too spicy or oily.
Regarding your ongoing treatment, it typically varies how quickly one may see changes when reintroducing Ayurvedic medicines after disruption. It might take 1-2 weeks to regain the balance if other lifestyle factors are aligned. However, effectiveness can also depend on the formulation you are using and its adherence to your body’s constitution (prakriti).
Ensure you’re also addressing any stress factors or lifestyle habits that can influence sexual health beyond substances like alcohol. Incorporating regular yoga, pranayama, and stress-reduction techniques can support the medicine’s effectiveness. If you do not observe improvement in two to three weeks, it may be valuable to consult with a Siddha-Ayurveda practitioner who can reassess your condition and possibly adjust the treatment protocol to better suit your current state.
