Regarding sexual intercourse - #4045

In Ayurveda, issues related to sexual performance, such as erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, are often linked to imbalances in the Vata and Pitta doshas, as well as low Ojas (vital energy), weak Shukra dhatu (reproductive tissue), or stress and mental imbalance. Here’s what you can do to address this issue: Herbal Remedies: Ashwagandha: Helps reduce stress and increase vitality. It is known for balancing Vata and improving stamina and libido. Shatavari: A natural tonic for reproductive health, it can help strengthen Shukra dhatu and improve performance. Safed Musli: Known to boost libido and strengthen erectile function. Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris): Known to enhance sexual function and increase testosterone levels. Diet: Focus on heaty, nutritious foods like ghee, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. Avoid excessive alcohol, caffeine, spicy, or oily foods, which can aggravate Pitta and Vata. Drink warm milk with saffron or turmeric before bed to promote relaxation and strength. Lifestyle & Stress Management: Regular yoga and pranayama (breathing exercises) can help manage stress and enhance vitality. Poses like Baddha Konasana and Setu Bandhasana are great for improving circulation and vitality. Practice meditation for calming the mind and improving emotional stability, reducing performance anxiety. Oil Massage: Abhyanga (self-massage) with sesame oil or ashwagandha oil daily can strengthen the nervous system, improve circulation, and enhance energy. Routine: Establish a consistent sleep schedule, as proper rest is vital for reproductive health. Avoid overexertion and long periods of sexual activity or indulgence, as this can drain energy and affect performance. Mental Health: Reduce anxiety and stress, which are often major contributors. Seek support from a counselor or partner to address emotional factors if they exist. If symptoms persist, I recommend consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner in person to determine your specific dosha imbalance and a tailored treatment plan.
