Sex addiction can result in a lot of reasons. From coping with a mechanism to self-pleasure, beating loneliness to excess sex during the teen, anything can be a contributing factor. While the scientific community still does not pinpoint this as a disease, an increasing number of individuals are being identified who are suffering from an addiction to sex. While there is no quick fix to it, Ayurveda treatment can address sex addiction and fix it for good:

Ayurveda Treatment Helps in Sex Addiction 

  1. Essential Food: There should be a razor-sharp focus on eating. Sattvik Food such as curd, milk, bread, wheat, rice, sugar, milk is some of the best food items to curve sex addiction. Fruits such as apples, bananas, grapes, mangoes, and pomegranates play rich dividends in checking sex addiction. Popular meal preparation such as Havishya Annam and Charu are extremely helpful Ayurveda for reducing sex addiction.
  2. Food to avoid: In Ayurveda, food items such as meat, eggs, fish are considered as detrimental as far as sexual health is concerned. They tend to increase sex addiction. The meat of buffalo, sheep, or goat increases sex drive in an individual.
  3. Breathing Exercise: Pranayama or slow breathing exercises in Ayurveda is another excellent way to reduce sex addiction. This is a slow-release and intake of oxygen. Expert supervision is required when it is performed for the first time.
  4. Working Out: Daily jogging, running, working out, or simply walking will go a long way in ensuring that an individual cut down his sex addiction over a period using these ayurvedic remedies. Working out helps to profoundly sweat and helps the organ perform better. Not to mention, it lifts a person’s mood and installs loads of positive energy.
  5. Avoid Addiction: Any addiction is it smoking, drinking, substance, drugs or marijuana can be extremely detrimental in Ayurveda. External stimulus not only increases sex addiction but proves to be hazardous for the body over the long term.
  6. Keep Hydrated: Remaining hydrated throughout the day is important. Drinking water, fruit juice, and other non-sweet drinks prove to be very handy in cutting down sex addiction. However, it should be ensured to refrain from drinking carbonated drinks. They increase fat in the body and make a person lethargic.
  7. Quick meditationWhile meditation sounds daunting at times, it is not that difficult to do it. Sitting down in a quiet place and counting numbers from 1 to 100 is also a form of meditation. The idea is to concentrate and keep the focus for a stretch of time. Meditation is another Ayurveda treatment that helps a person to curb sex addiction by keeping the mind focused.
  8. Ayurvedic Tonics: Ayurvedic medicines such as Ashwagandha, Brahmi, and turmeric can help to reduce sex addiction. If you wish to discuss any specific problem, you can consult an Ayurveda.
