Viagra, primarily known for treating erectile dysfunction in men, works by increasing blood flow to the sexual organs. In women, the outcome could be slightly similar since it may improve blood circulation to the genital area, potentially enhancing arousal or sensitivity. However, this is not a universally accepted treatment for sexual dysfunctions in women, and its efficacy might not address the underlying hormonal or emotional aspects.
From a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, sexual wellness is deeply interconnected with the balance of the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—and the health of the sapta dhatus (seven body tissues). If you’re noticing a lack of desire or changes in mood, it could relate to dosha imbalances, stress, or dietary factors affecting your agni (digestive/metabolic fire).
Consider lifestyle practices first. Regular Abhyanga (oil massage) with sesame oil can help balance Vata, while incorporating warm, nourishing foods supports Agni. Include Brahmi or Shatavari herbs in your routine, which support reproductive health and calm the mind—consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for recommended dosages tailored to your constitution.
Pursuing solutions based on Western pharmaceuticals may not align with your unique body constitution and can overlook underlying causes. However, if symptoms persist or cause significant concern, consulting a healthcare professional is important to rule out other conditions. Always prioritize safety and holistic well-being when exploring treatment options.
