What is vata?
Acccording to ayurveda principles
the activities of our body are governed by tridoshas .
Tridoshas
keep our body healthy when they are in balanced condition.
Disease is the result of imbalance in these doshas. Tridoshas
(three dosha)are vata, pitta and kapha. Five mahabhutas (pancha
mahabhuta = akasha, vayu, prithvi, jala and agni) combine in
pairs to form three dynamic forces called doshas. Vata is made
of vayu (air) and aakasha (ether). Pitta is made up of jala and
agni (water and agni), kapha is made up of jala and prithvi (
water and earth).
As vata dosha is made up of ether and air, it is light , dry and
moves fast. It needs clear spaces to move. Any obstruction in
its path causes vitiation and imbalance of doshas. Vata carries
other two doshas with it and enables them to function normally.
Hence when vata is in balanced condition it keeps body healthy.
Vata governs breathing, movement of
muscles, tissues, movement of signals in nerves etc. All
movements of body fluids, voluntary and involuntary movements,
activities of brain, spinal cord and complete nervous system are
controlled by vata. Vata is mainly located in large intestines,
pelvic cavity, thighs and bones
How
erection occurs
The two chambers of penis (corpora cavernosa,) which run
throught the organ are filled with spongy tissue. The
corpora cavernosa are surrounded by a membrane, called the
tunica albuginea. The spongy tissue contains smooth muscles,
fibrous tissues, spaces, veins, and arteries. The urethra,
which is the channel for urine and semen runs along
underside of the corpora cavernosa..

Increase
Libido kit

Increases the male libido, erection time, hardness,
quantity of semen and sperm count.Controls premature
ejaculation. A best remedy for male infertility. |
|
Due to sensory or mental stimulation, or
both, the erection begins. Due to impulses from brain and local
nerves the muscles of corpora cavernosa relax and allow blood to
flow in and fill the spaces of spongy tissue.
The flow of blood creates pressure in the corpora cavernosa, making
the penis expand. The tunica albuginea helps trap the blood in the
chambers, thereby sustaining
erection. When muscles in the penis
contract to stop the inflow of blood and open outflow channels,
erection recedes

In ayurveda physiology of
erection and ejaculation is described as
follows.

The “apaanavayu” one of
the five types of vayu is located in the testicles, urinary bladder,
phallus, umbilicus, thighs, groin, anus and colon. Its functions are
ejaculation of semen, voiding of urine and stools”.
Shushruta explains the process of erection and
ejaculation as “ When a man has desire (iccha) to have sex, his
response to touch increases ( Vayu located in skin causes flow of
signals from skin to brain, thus causing sensation of touch). This
causes arousal or “harsha” . Arousal or Harsha intensifies actions
of vayu and at this moment highly active vayu liberates the “teja
“or heat of pitta. Thus tejas and vayu increase body temperature,
heart beat and blood flow causing
erection

How Erectile Dysfunction occurs
Erection requires a sequence of events. Erectile dysfunction can
occur when any of the events is disturbed. Nerve impulses in the
brain, spinal column, around the penis and response in muscles,
fibrous tissues, veins, and arteries in and around the corpora cavernosa constitute this sequence of events. Injury to any of these
parts which are part of this sequence ( nerves, arteries, smooth
muscles, fibrous tissue ) can cause ED.

How vata
affects erection
As vata governs nervous system , vitiation of vata can disturb
flow of impulses from brain to genital organ leading to loss of
erection.
Blood flow in arteries is controlled by vata. Any obstruction in
arteries like plaques or deposits disturbs blood flow in these
tissues thus causing
erectile dysfunction.
Injury is a cause for vitiation of vata. Injury to genital organ
viatiate vata leading to failure of
erection.
Teja or pitta which gets liberated
due to action of vata can be correlated to testosterone hormone.
When vata gets vitiated it fails to produce testosterone hormone
sufficient to maintain
erections
How vata can be balanced to prevent
erectile dysfunction
- Maintain a regular routine. Eat at
regular intervals, sleep at regular time and exercise regularly.
This is very important to keep vata in balanced condition.
- Massage your body with
herbal oils to
reduce vitiation of vata.
- Avoid unnecessary popping of pills.
- Sleep for sufficiently long hours in
night and avoid sleeping in day time.
- Say no to junk foods and aerated
drinks.
- Stop drugs, tobacco and alcohol.
Addiction to these stuffs vitiates vata and can cause
irreversible changes.
- Reduce stress by practicing
yoga and
meditation. Reduced stress level balances vata and prevents
erectile dysfunction.
- Use foods such as: warm
milk, cream,
butter, warm soups, stews, hot cereals, fresh baked bread
- Avoid cold foods like cooled drinks,
ice creams etc. As cold foods and exposure to cold weather
increases vata.
- Deep fried foods like chips, spicy
foods vitiate vata. Hence avoid these.
-
Over weight causes vitiation of vata as
fat blocks the channels of vata.
Weight reduction is very
important to balance vata.
