How Ayurveda Can Help You To Deal With Premature Ejaculation
Premature Ejaculation (Shukragatavata) is defined as early ejaculation much before the completion of satisfactory sexual activity for both the partners. It is uncontrolled ejaculation that may happen shortly after or before sexual penetration. Ejaculation within one minute of having sex is referred to premature ejaculation. It also refers to the inability to hold ejaculation for a longer time.
Premature Ejaculation may happen with little or no sexual arousal of the person. This often leads to anxiety problems and results in unsatisfactory sex. Premature Ejaculation can be a result of erectile dysfunction, depression, guilt or not being sexually active for a long period of time.
According to Ayurveda, premature ejaculation is the result of aggravated Vata and Pitta Dosha. The imbalance of these doshas or energies in the body causes hyperactivity of muscles in the male genital organs leading to early ejaculation.
Ayurvedic management of premature ejaculation consists of herbal and herbo mineral formulations along with external applications for lower abdomen. The line of treatment consists of Vrishya (aphrodisiacs), balya (tonics), vatahara (drugs or procedures to pacify Vata), Medhya (psychotropic drugs), and sukrastambhaka (drugs to delay ejaculation). The medications aim at reducing performance anxiety and improving control over ejaculation. The Ayurvedic treatment focuses on balancing the aggravated Vata and Pitta doshas with a balance diet, rejuvenating herbs, practicing meditation and breathing exercises to relieve stress.
