Ayurveda, a holistic system of medicine, views hormonal imbalances, including low testosterone, as a result of an imbalance in the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and the accumulation of toxins (Ama) that hinder proper bodily function. Ayurvedic approaches focus on restoring balance through diet, lifestyle, and specific herbs.
Key Ayurvedic Principles and Remedies for Testosterone:
Rasayana (Rejuvenation) Therapy: Ayurveda emphasizes Rasayana, which aims to revitalize the body and promote longevity and vitality. Many herbs used for testosterone fall under this category.
Stress Management: Ayurveda strongly emphasizes managing stress as it directly impacts hormonal balance. Practices like Yoga (specific poses like Cobra Pose, Bow Pose), Pranayama (breathing exercises), and meditation are recommended to calm the mind and reduce cortisol.
Dietary Recommendations:
Ghee: Clarified butter is considered a healthy fat and is believed to aid in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, which can indirectly support hormone balance.
Zinc-Rich Foods: Similar to modern nutrition, Ayurveda highlights foods rich in zinc like pumpkin seeds, soaked dates, and raw amla.
Warm, Nourishing Foods: Emphasize wholesome, easily digestible foods that support the body’s natural processes.
Herbal Remedies (Ayurvedic Testosterone Boosters):
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): This adaptogenic herb is highly revered in Ayurveda for its ability to reduce stress (by lowering cortisol), increase testosterone levels, improve sperm count, and enhance overall vitality and libido. It’s often referred to as “Indian Ginseng.”
Shilajit: A mineral-rich resin found in the Himalayas, Shilajit is considered a potent Rasayana. It’s believed to enhance testosterone production, improve stamina, and revitalize the body.
Gokshura (Tribulus Terrestris): This herb is traditionally used to support male reproductive health and optimize testosterone levels.
Safed Musli: Known for its aphrodisiac properties, it’s believed to improve sperm quality and quantity and boost testosterone.
Kaunch Beej (Mucuna pruriens): These seeds are a rich source of protein and have antioxidant properties. They are believed to boost testosterone production, improve sperm quality, and help with premature ejaculation.
Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus): While often associated with female health, Shatavari is also believed to influence testosterone production in males by acting on testicular cells.
Jaiphal (Nutmeg): Considered an aphrodisiac, it’s believed to improve blood circulation, benefiting sexual health.
Other Herbs: Abhrak Bhasma (balances hormones), Salampunja, Javitri, Akkalkara, Lavang (Cloves), Hing (Asafoetida) are also mentioned in various Ayurvedic texts and formulations for male reproductive health.
Panchakarma: This series of detoxifying and rejuvenating therapies in Ayurveda aims to eliminate toxins (Ama) that can hinder hormonal production. Specific therapies like Basti (medicated enema) can target the reproductive system

Hormone panel: Total Testosterone, Free Testosterone, LH, FSH, Prolactin, TSH
Scrotal ultrasound → to check for varicocele, hernia, or infection
Vitamin D, B12, Hb → deficiencies mimic fatigue/ED

HELLO KUMAR ,
You are experiencing low testosterone levels, erectile difficulties, reduced morning erections, fatigue, low motivation, and low sexual desire. Additionally, you feel pain in the abdomen, right leg, and right testicle, especially after sitting for long periods. These symptoms suggest that your body’s reproductive and hormonal balance is affected, and the localized pain may be due to circulation issues, nerve compression, or inflammation in the pelvic region. Low testosterone can also contribute to fatigue, low mood, and sleep disturbances.
Ayurveda cannot replace hormone therapy completely, but it can support natural testosterone production, improve circulation, vitality, and sexual health, reduce inflammation, and help restore energy and motivation over time.
Treatment Plan:
1. Ama Pachana (First 3–5 days): Chitrakadi Vati – 1 tablet with warm water before meals, to improve digestion and remove accumulated toxins (Ama).
2. Internal Medications (After Ama Pachana): Ashwagandha Churna – 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk, to improve testosterone, vitality, and reduce stress. Kaishore Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after meals, to reduce inflammation and support circulation. Shilajit Vati – 250 mg once daily, for enhancing energy, sexual vigor, and testosterone. Kapikacchu (Mucuna Pruriens) Powder – 1 tsp with warm milk once daily, to support testosterone, sperm health, and mood.
3. External Care:
Gentle oil massage (Abhyanga) with warm sesame or medicated oils for lower abdomen and thighs 2–3 times a week. Avoid prolonged sitting; take breaks every 1–2 hours and do light stretching to reduce pelvic congestion and nerve pressure.
Dietary Guidance:
Include ghee, milk, nuts, seeds (pumpkin, sesame, almonds), whole grains, and lentils. Include protein-rich foods like eggs, paneer, fish (if non-vegetarian), and legumes. Avoid excessive fried, processed, and sugary foods. Reduce alcohol, smoking, and junk foods.
Investigations :
Repeat testosterone, LH, FSH, and prolactin levels after 3 months. Semen analysis if fertility is a concern. Ultrasound if testicular or abdominal pain persists. Bowel, Micturition, Appetite, Sleep: Monitor bowel movements, urine output, and appetite. Maintain regular sleep; 7–8 hours is essential for hormone balance.
If you follow this plan consistently for 3–4 months, it can help improve testosterone levels, sexual function, energy, and overall vitality. Ayurveda works gradually, so patience and consistency are key.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika
Start with Cap ashwashila 1-0-1 after food with water Divya youvanamrit gold 0-0-1 after food with water Apply ashwagandha bala oil Shilajit oil on penis externally twice daily. Have light and early dinner Be relaxed and remain happy. Avoid stress.
For boosting testesterone levels and addressing the related symptoms you’re experiencing like low energy and interest, Ayurved can offer some helpful remedies and lifestyle changes. First, consider your digestion, or “agni,” which plays a crucial role in hormone balance. Enhancing your agni can be achieved by chewing a small piece of ginger with black salt before meals. Also, ensure you’re eating fresh, warm meals with ghee to support nutrient assimilation.
In Ayurveda, testoserone is closely linked with the “Dhatu” or tissue health, particularly the “Shukra Dhatu” (responsible for reproductive health). Consuming ashwagandha can help invigorate this dhatu. Take 1-2 teaspoons of ashwagandha powder with warm milk or water before bed. This adaptogenic herb is known to boost stamina and alleviate stress, one of the main culprits of hormonal imbalance.
Physical activity is essential; however, excessive or strenuous exercise might deplete “ojas,” the energy reserve of the body. Engage in mild to moderate exercises such as yoga, which enhance both physical and mental strength. Poses like “Ustrasana” (Camel Pose) and “Bhujangasana” (Cobra Pose) are particularly beneficial for improving circulation and invigorating the pelvic region.
Your symptoms of abdominal and testicular pain along with erectile dysfunction, might suggest possible circulatory or nerve issues, necessitating a personalized consultation with a healthcare professional as soon as possible. This is so vital especially given your pain and other symptoms. Untreated, these might lead to more significant complications or possibly delay necessary medical intervention.
Adequate sleep’s is essential for hormone health, try to maintain a consistent sleep schedule, ensuring 7-8 hours of rest. Evening relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or “Shavasana” (Corpse Pose), can promote better sleep. Although these Ayurvedic recommendations can be beneficial, it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider to thoroughly evaluate the underlying causes of your symptoms.
Your symptoms suggest a possible imbalance in your vata and pitta doshas, leading to issues in the reproductive system and general vitality. Addressing this holistically through Siddha-Ayurvedic approaches can be helpful, though it’s imperative to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any urgent medical issues, especially given your pain symptoms.
First, dietary choices are central. Focus on consuming warm, nourishing foods. Incorporate cook’d whole grains like rice and barley, and favor cooked vegetables such as carrots, beets, and asparagus. These choices help in pacifying vata and strengthening agni (digestive fire), promoting optimal tissue nourishment. Avoid cold, dry, and processed foods, along with caffeine and alcohol, which can disturb your dosha balance.
Herbal supports can include Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Gokshura. These herbs are known for enhancing energy levels and reproductive tissues. You can prepare these as a decoction or take them in powder form with milk. Aim for once daily, preferably in the morning. However, make sure to consult with a Siddha practitioner for suitable dosages tailored to your constitution.
Practicing specific yoga asanas such as Bhujangasana (Cobra pose) and Virasana (Hero pose) can support reproductive health by improving circulation and reducing tension. Meditation and Pranayama, especially Nadi Sodhana (alternate nostril breathing), can calm the mind and promote restful sleep.
Lastly, regular abhyanga or oil massage with warmed sesame oil could alleviate pain and enhance circulation in the affected areas, specially your legs and abdomen. Applying gentle massage for 15 minutes before bathing can be beneficial.
Since you’re experiencing significant pain, especially in the abdominal and testicular areas, seek medical evaluation promptly to exclude any serious conditions. Addressing both immediate concerns and underlying imbalances will ensure a more comprehensive approach to your health.
