Low libido in women can sometimes be linked to stress and lifestyle, and Ayurveda offers several approaches that might help address this in a holistic way. First, considering stress may play a role, bringing balance to the nervous system is key. Encourage her to adopt a vata-pacifying routine, which focuses on grounding and warmth. This means regular daily practices like waking up and sleeping at the same time, eating warm, nourishing meals, and just taking time to relax.
When it comes to food, her diet should be nurturing and strengthening to support the dhatus (tissues) and that includes incorporating foods like dates, almonds, or sesame seeds, which are seen as aphrodisiac in Ayurveda. Warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg or saffron at night might also help.
In addition, herbs such as Ashwagandha or Shatavari may support energy and stamina – Shatavari particularly for women’s health. However, advise her to consult a practitioner before starting any herbal regimen, since individual constitutions matter a lot.
Daily Abhyanga (self-massage with warm sesame oil) can help in promoting calmness and awareness of her body, thus enhancing libido naturally. Encourage her to practice mindfulness and breathing exercises to help mitigate stress.
Support her emotionally by encouraging open conversations without pressure, allowing sensitivity towards her comfort level. If the condition feels beyond self-care, gently suggest seeing a healthcare professional specializing in women’s health to rule out any underlying conditions.
