Sexual problem - #834

In Ayurveda, managing type 2 diabetes (Madhumeha) and associated concerns like erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and unintentional weight loss involves balancing doshas, strengthening digestion, and rejuvenating the body’s vitality, or ojas. Diabetes can lead to aggravated Vata and Kapha doshas, which affect energy levels, circulation, and tissue health, impacting sexual function and stamina. To address erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, herbs such as Ashwagandha and Shilajit are recommended, as they enhance strength, stamina, and vitality. Ashwagandha supports sexual health by reducing stress, while Shilajit aids in energy replenishment and hormonal balance. Take Ashwagandha as a capsule or powder twice daily, and consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for the appropriate dosage of Shilajit to avoid any interactions with diabetes medications. For weight management and to counter weight loss, focus on nourishing, high-fiber, and balanced meals. Incorporate foods such as whole grains (like quinoa or millets), cooked vegetables, nuts, and seeds, which stabilize blood sugar levels and provide essential nutrients. Methi (fenugreek) seeds can be soaked overnight and taken on an empty stomach to support digestion, regulate blood sugar, and enhance weight stability. Avoid refined sugars, processed foods, and excessive caffeine, as these can increase ama (toxins) and worsen blood sugar levels. Additionally, Abhyanga (self-massage) with warm sesame oil can improve blood circulation and reduce stress, which positively influences sexual health. Practicing gentle yoga postures and pranayama, especially nadi shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) and ujjayi (victorious breath), can help manage stress and support hormonal balance, benefiting overall sexual health and energy levels.
