Ayurveda and Male Libido
Ayurveda has laid much importance to keep up the sexual health of males. Men can face low libido often due to various reasons. Increasing libido in males ( Top Ayurvedic Foods That Boost Testosterone Level and Libido ) is very important to keep up emotional and sexual health. Acharyas recommend various ayurvedic treatments and medicines to improve sexual desire and performance in men.
Causes for Low Libido in Males (According to AYURVEDA)
Ayurveda acharyas explain various causes for low libido in men.
Having sex by compulsions with a person whom you do not like.
When men are disinterested with their partner, they may experience a low desire. In a relationship woman is considered as “parama vajikara”. That means woman herself is an aphrodisiac to her man. If she does not arouse any sexual feeling in man then he may experience low libido.
Anxiety and stress cause low libido.
Brain and mind play a very important role in attaining erection and involve in sexual act. When few factors like stress , anxiety, depression etc ( Stress and Anxiety Management Through Ayurveda ) affect mind then low libido results. These not only cause low libido but they also interfere in erectile dysfunction ( Read Ayurvedic Medicines and Treatment for Erectile dysfunction ). Apart from these relationship issues, lack of interest in the partner, poor body image etc., can also be some of the factors which cause stress ( Stress and Erectile dysfunction or Impotence ) and lead to reduced libido in men.
Imbalance of Shukra Dhatu
Shukra Dhatu ( Ayurveda Definition of Shukra Dhatu (semen ) ) helps in enjoying good sexual life. Consumption of spicy, stale, opposite foods can imbalance shukra dhatu. This causes low libido and erectile dysfunction. Imbalanced shukra dhatu can also affect quality and quantity of semen. Eating spicy (katu rasa) ( Ayurveda tastes Katu Rasa or Pungent taste ) , salty (lavana rasa) ( Lavana Rasa – The salty taste in ayurveda ) and hot food increase pitta dosha ( Ayurveda Pitta Dosha , Its Types, Pitta Diet ) and destroys SHUKRA (SEMEN) this leading to low libido.Overindulgence in sexual activities like masturbation or more frequent ejaculations, leads to SHUKRA KSHAYA (decrease in quantity of semen).
Controlling Sexual Urges:
Controlling sexual urge for very long durations can cause a condition called “Veeryavarodha” (Obstruction of semen) which in turn leads to low libido, erectile dysfunction and low semen quality and quantity. They have explained this in dinacharya (ayurvedic daily routine ) . (you can know more about Effects of Suppression of Natural Urges of Human Body )
Impotence by Birth
Some acquire the impotence by birth. This will be genetical and can not be rectified. These men do not get sexual urge or desire.
Not Consuming Vajikarana Medicines or Preparations
