Infertility - Have Ayurveda At Your Rescue!

A person’s overall well-being is decided by a number of factors, and healthy intimate life is one of them. While most think of this as an act of pleasure and happiness, in reality, there are various factors that add to a healthy sex life. Expectations from oneself and from the partner are often untold and therefore mismatch and disappointment are very common.

Impotence or erectile dysfunction is very common in men. A lot of them go through this silently without being able to identify the underlying cause nor being able to find the right cure. Given the private nature of this topic, they go about discreetly trying various products as told by friends and family. This could cause more harm than good.

Ayurveda believes impotence is caused by an imbalance between the body’s 3 main doshas, vata, pitta, and kapha. Treatment is aimed at restoring this balance. Erectile dysfunction (ED) or impotence is caused by the following reasons:

1. Performance anxiety
2. Lower levels of testosterone hormone
3. Physical and mental exertion and/or stress levels (grief, fear, terror)
4. Strained relationships
5. Neurological disorders
6. Endocrine issues like hypothyroidism,
7. Some drugs like antidepressants, anti-hypertensives
8. Trauma to the groin or prostate area
9. Physical trauma like accidents
10. Excessive smoking, alcohol abuse, drug abuse,
