5 herbs will recharge your sex life!

2016-04-25T22:42:00.001-07:00

Aphrodisiacs have been used for centuries by humans trying to rev up their sex lives. Though there is not too much scientific data available on their exact action, there are some herbs which have been used since a long time and do work for some couples even now.

In Ayurveda, aphrodisiacs are not merely substances that cause sexual excitation – they provide nutrition to nourish and sustain the entire reproductive system. Using the herbs specified in traditional medicine is therefore preferable to experimenting with exotic substances that can do harm.

Ashwagandha

An aphrodisiac for men, its extracts have the ability to stimulate the production of nitric oxide in the body. This causes a dilatation of the blood vessels that carry blood to the genitals, leading to increased sexual desire. Here’s more about the herb ashwagandha.

Consume around 2 grams of Ashwagandha powder every evening. It may take a few days of continuous use to begin seeing results. Alternatively, take tablets or capsules of Ashwagandha after checking the concentration of withanolides; higher the content, lesser the number of tablets you need to consume. Pregnant women should not consume this drug. If you suffer from high blood pressure, speak to your doctor about whether it is safe for you.

Shatavari

An aphrodisiac for women, it has tonic and calming properties. Besides increasing energy levels, it also helps to regulate the levels of the female hormones and thus, has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the reproductive system. Although primarily prescribed for women, Shatavari is also considered useful to increase the sex drive in men too. Here’s more about the herb shatavari.

Prepare a decoction by crushing the fresh roots of Shatavari, adding this to water and simmering on a medium flame for a few minutes. Alternatively, use Shatavari powder in a dose ranging from 3 to 6 grams, starting with a lower dose and moving on to a higher one if necessary.

Gokshura

Also called Gokhru, it has the property of increasing the secretion of the hormone testosterone and therefore, exhibits aphrodisiac properties, causing sexual arousal in both women and men. In men, Gokhru is believed to also increase the levels of nitric oxide, leading to easier erections that are sustained for longer. In women, it also helps to keep levels of prolactin low and this contributes to its aphrodisiac properties because prolactin tends to reduce sexual desire.

The Gokhru powder should be taken at a dosage level ranging between 1 to 3 grams per day and you may begin to experience the effects after three days. If you plan to use a marketed preparation, follow the instructions regarding dosage as indicated on the label.

Shilajit

One of the most valuable of herbo-mineral drugs obtained from the Himalayan mountain, it is said to contain the fossilized forms of valuable medicinal plants. It is known to contain several minerals and the organic compound called fulvic acid that contribute to its action.Animal studies have shown that Shilajit helps to increase spermatogenesis, testosterone levels, sperm counts and sperm motility in men and ovogenesis in women. Besides, it has shown stress-relieving properties and this may also contribute to its aphrodisiac effects. Here’s more about the herb shilajit.

Of the four varieties of Shilajit – yellow, red, blue and black – the black one is considered to be the most beneficial. The recommended dosage of Shilajit ranges between 300 to 500 mg per day. Begin with the minimum dose, and take it with water; if you do not experience any undesirable reaction such as a skin rash or headache, you can increase the dose by 100 mg and observe its effectiveness.

Ginseng

A root that is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, Ginseng can be of three types – Asian Ginseng, Siberian Ginseng and American Ginseng. For centuries, people in China have used Ginseng to cure problems with sexual function because it acts on both the reproductive as well as the nervous system to increase libido. By its action on the blood vessels of the penis, it helps to improve erections; through its tonic action on the body. It also improves energy levels by increasing levels of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine reducing stress and enhancing their mood. Here’s more about the herb ginseng.

Ginseng is available as an extract, a paste, a powder as well as capsules. If you are taking a concentrated extract, between 100 and 200 mg will suffice; if you want to use the powder form, the recommended dose is between 5 to 10 grams. You will probably need quite a few days to begin experiencing results from taking Ginseng. People with heart and kidney problems or high blood pressure or those on anti-coagulant drugs or aspirin should speak to their doctor about taking Ginseng.

While the dosage levels presented here are the generally recommended dose, it is best to schedule a personal consultation with an Ayurvedic doctor who is best placed to guide you in the use of these aphrodisiac herbs. Most important of all, remember that the best aphrodisiac of all is deep-seated love.

Guide to better sex

2016-04-24T22:39:00.000-07:00

Sex, like most other functions of our body is a normal process. As other functions, like for example, the digestion, can be upset by factors like a bad mood, stress or similar such things, so can the sexual function be disturbed by a whole lot of factors. These may not necessarily involve the anatomy but instead it’s the mind, which makes the difference.

If sex is allowed to happen naturally, in a relaxed way, our bodies will respond normally without any conscious effort on our part.

There are a wide variety of problem or situations that can upset the normal sexual responsiveness, most of them, fortunately, can be helped in a positive manner by understanding on our part.

Here are a few of the most common amongst them and ways to improve:

Misunderstanding and/or lack of information about sex :

Its indeed one of the most telling ironies that Sex, despite being one of the most commonly discussed topic in our lives and in the media, there is a surprising lack of correct information about ‘What to Expect and How to Act’.

Those images of the ‘Perfect Macho Man and The Perfect Sensual Woman’ on the TV and in the Magazines make us feel that Sex instead of being a perfectly normal natural and enjoyable thing, is an ‘Act to be Performed to Perfection’. All this does it to add to the confusion and leads to unrealistic fears, expectations and fantasies.

Bad feelings about Sex and its consequences -

1. Fear of pregnancy; Fear of pain; Fear of being caught / heard / or interrupted.

2. Performance Anxiety-Fear of failing to perform well.

3. Fear of losing control (during orgasm) and or becoming vulnerable.

4. Looking unattractive during the climax.

5. Bad feelings about yourself or your body like, feeling that the body is unattractive. Feelings that I am not successful (low self-esteem).

Problems in relationship –

Anger/resentment against the partner should be resolved as it can decrease the performance and pleasure while having sex.

Unsuitable circumstances –

While a ‘Quickie’ sometimes can be fun! But normally Good Sex requires a relaxed mind and body. Too much of a hurry, tiredness or preoccupation can rob you of the pleasures of Sex.

Performance anxiety –

This is one of the most significant problems in the way of Good Sex. We often forget that Sex is something that comes naturally to all of us, instead, we seem to view ourselves as performers who have to complete an act to perfection.

Spectator role –

Quite often we start observing ourselves as an audience, instead of really participating in it. – We observe ourselves ‘doing the act’, as if on stage (now coming, now coming...., so again it doesn't,...I knew it…etc.).

Avoid spectatoring:

Remember that you are not a spectator of an act, you are the act itself, and you are the participant. You are not there to critically analyze it and constantly to measure your efficiency. You are there to ‘Let Go’ and enjoy.

Enjoy the interaction and don’t aim or worry about the performance. Enjoy caressing, touching your partner (anywhere on the body). It’s nice to touch and feel close to your partner.

Break the cycle of watching / worrying / and further reducing the response.

Improve communication

Communication is a vital part of having Good Sex. Remember "Sex is as much between the Ears, as it is, between the Legs". Good communication with your partner can make the difference between having Sex ‘for the sake of it’ and having ‘a really good time’.

Communicate verbally/non-verbally. Tell your partner where else do you want, to be touched-how much and for how long. Tell him/her when it’s pleasurable and also when it hurts. Relax pleasantly and enjoy this without worrying about the ultimate. Enjoy in different positions, sometimes-female superior positions can be an easy position.

Remove Misunderstanding

A misunderstanding between the partners can really affect the sexual relationship badly. The clearer both are about each other and Sex the better it is. A feeling that something important needs to be sorted out before going further should not be overlooked.

MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT SEX

Some common misconceptions about sex:

The penis can become erect at very early stage, especially in a young man. This does not mean that he is necessarily ready for intercourse and he may start too soon - before his partner feels ready. She may become anxious as she feels she is keeping him waiting. Vaginal lubrication may remain hidden especially in lying down positions. Both partners may assume she is not responding, when in fact she is. Penis gives a more obvious signal which the vagina may not. Arousal comes in waves in both the man and the woman. This is normal. The decline doesn't mean that something is wrong. Premature ejaculation (coming too soon, before the partner is ready) is normal in young men, particularly when very much aroused. Control comes with learning and practice. Many women may not have orgasm but are fully responsive. This doesn’t mean that they are frigid. Early sexual relationships may not have orgasms in women. Partners need not worry. Anxiety further inhibits it. The husband snoring one minute after ejaculating can produce resentment if the wife is still feeling the need for intimacy. The men have their refractory period (time during which sexual arousal is difficult) very fast. Woman need not feel upset (as if being used as a sleeping pill) - you can wake up your husband sometimes and let him know.

Yoga for better sex life

2016-04-24T22:21:00.000-07:00

From East to West, people have turned to yoga for better bodies. Yoga doesn't up your fitness quotient alone, it can help you to increase your sex power also.

Indeed, all you need to do some simple yoga asanas (postures). You'll get a body that's so flexible that you'll perform positions that you thought were meant only for the pages of Kamasutra. What's more, with some practice, your guy will be able to control his climax too.

The postures that promise pleasure:

Today yoga lovers are finding that more time on the mat means more, and steamier, time spent revelling in their newly toned bodies. While asanas like Mula Bandha, Uddiyana Bandha Halasana, Matsyasana and Viprita Karani Sarvangasana Sirhasana are some of the postures that help in better sexual performance, lets dug out a few easy-to-do yoga movements that will help you gain a great sex life.

The most common sexual yoga exercise that is used to enhance libido and sexual gratification is a posture that one can do even while sitting in the office. Contract and release the muscles of your pubic area as if you want to stop the flow of urine. Experts say that they have seen many people reviving their sex lives with the help of this one simple exercise. It indeed helps to get more powerful orgasms.

Alternately, while you are seated or are standing, contract and then release the pubococcygeus muscle located between the pubic bone and the tailbone, as if you wanted to stop the flow of urine. You can even do this at your desk, say, 10 times at three workday intervals. This is called the Mula Bandha in Sanskrit and is one of the most important postures to practice for a great orgasm. This one's for both your partner and you.

Have some more time on your hand? Try this: you can lie on the floor and put your legs against the wall. Focus on breathing properly. Do the deep breathing yoga technique where you inhale the air through your nose and exhale it out of your mouth. This exercise will help you feel re-energised and you will be able to enjoy sex without feeling tired. In addition, it will help to heighten the sensations. The simplest yogic breathing that will enhance your sex life is called balancing Pranayam. In this you will have to alternately breath through each of your nostrils. This helps to harness sexual power.

Practice of yoga awakens the body senses to the extent that each body cell can experience the bliss of the partners' touch during the act. Yoga makes the core muscles flexible, as a result the body becomes more open and you can perform various postures while you make love, with complete ease. This naturally increases the pleasure. Practicing certain asanas will calm your mind, thus helping you focus and concentrate better. Multiple orgasms can then be a regular phenomenon. Yoga also helps partners to bond and the combined aura of the two of you will allow long-lasting sex.

The following are some specific yoga postures which may help improve your sex life.

Lotus Position:

In this posture, the person sits cross-legged and feet are placed on opposite thighs. The appearance of the position resembles the lotus flower and hence the name.

Halasana:

The practitioner lies straight on the floor. Keeping legs together and straight, he raises the legs and takes them behind the head. Hands are kept firmly to the floor and parallel to the upper body. The name is derived from the word ` hala`, which means plow.

Uddiyana Bandhas:

It is done by pulling the abdomen inwards after exhaling all the air. While doing so, take a false inhale, hold your breath, pause and release the abdomen. This cycle of doing false inhale and complete exhale is repeated several times.

Bandhas means internal lock. While doing this asana, the air is blocked to enter the lungs. Once the cycles are over, the lung receives fresh air.

Sirhasana:

It is one of the very famous asana in which the practitioner stands on the head, supported just by forearms. This asana is also known as the king of all yoga asanas.

Viprita Karani:

To perform this asana, lie straight on the floor and raise legs perpendicular to the body.

Sarvangasana:

This is an interesting asana in which the entire weight of the body is put on the neck, the head, upper back and upper arms. The hands are held behind the back and slowly, the legs and the lower body is raised upward.

Ayureveda For Sex Problems

Sex & Ayurveda

Sex has always been an issue of dichotomy. An integral part of our lives and essential for the continuation of the species, it is far more than just a technical necessity. While social structures in India are quite strict on this, the study of sex - from both its physical and psychological perspectives - has been practiced here from ancient times. Unlike in the west, where this is a fairly recent phenomenon and they are yet to find the proper line of distinction between sex in general and pornography in particular.

On the other hand Maharishi Vatsayan's Kamasutra is yet unparalleled as the most comprehensive documentation ever on the practice of sex. Unfortunately, its classic treatment of the act and the art has often been misrepresented. The ancient Ayurvedic text of Charaka Samhita provided complete sexual solutions over 3000 years ago And the time-frozen, stone-carved, erotic sculptures in the temples at Khajuraho and Konarak leave millions of visitors utterly awe-struck by their sheer beauty, elegance and variety. An undying testimony to how intrinsic sex was to the daily lives of people in ancient India.

The importance of sex in our lives has remained quite unchanged. The crucial points to be kept in mind in relation to the same being :

Sex is an integral part of our daily habits (Dinacharya).
Night and after two hours of dinner is the ideal time for intimacy, as it is kapha time.
An absolutely satisfying sexual union, when developed over time, bestows you and your partner with health and vitality.
For best results, each of the partners should be physically, emotionally and spiritually involved with the other.
Touch, smell, food, music and ambience play a vital role in developing, increasing and prolonging intimacy.
Perverted or unsatisfying sex has adverse effects on your mental and physical health, as it aggravates your vital energies (doshas) and reduces immunity. An aggravated vata will make you more emotionally vulnerable
and fear-prone, increased pitta will move you to anger and even frustration and enhanced kapha will make you more possessive.
The frequency of sex depends on your constitution and seasons - kapha types indulge in sex more frequently than your vata & pitta types thanks to the extra stamina they possess.
Vata types might find satisfaction in changing partners. While the difficult-to-quench-their-desires pitta types are usually in quest for more intensity.

For more and better sex therefore, one can practice Vajikaran therapy (virlification) - that part of Ayurveda which enhances male fertility and potency. However, any misuse of the same may open up a deluge of emotional and psychological complications. Use of similar medication (aphrodisiac supplements) instantly induces sexual pleasure and excitement, increases sexual stamina and promotes fertile seminal secretions.

In the west there was some initial therapeutic enthusiasm over use of testosterone in impotence. But it did not stand the test of time. According to an article in The British Medical Journal testosterone is quite ineffective when impotence is the sole symptom and testosterone levels per se are largely irrelevant. Its rise in blood level is secondary to sexual arousal. The reduction in the plasma testosterone level, which may be found in chronically impotent men, probably reflects sexual apathy rather than causes it. This is in accord with the generally disappointing results using androgen replacement. And the high incidence of impotence in old age is not hormonal in origin.

Urinary Obstruction – Causes,Types,Symptoms,Treatment – Ayurveda

2016-04-23T22:24:00.000-07:00

One symptom may be found in many diseases. For the patient, that symptom gives discomfort. But for a physician each and every symptom is important to understand the patho-pysiology (origin of the disease) and to exactly diagnose the case.

Dysuria – difficulty in urination (mutrakricchara) and urinary obstruction (mutraghata) are two such disease entities, where ‘difficulty in urination’ is the common feature.

Many a times, many diseases may have same causative factors. But, based upon the nature of the individual, season of affliction, supporting food and habits, individual’s susceptibility and severity of the functional (often structural) entities, these two kinds of diseases are manifested.

kidney stones

Common causative factors of the disease urinary tract obstruction, its clinical features, disease classifications, probable line of treatment and common Ayurvedic remedies are discussed here below-

Obstructed urine (Mutraghata) is a dis-eased condition where ‘retention of urine’ is the cardinal feature, whereas in dysuria (mutrakricchara), difficulty in micturition is the typical characteristic feature. Obstruction and hence retention of urine may be caused by occlusion of the urinary tract or inflammation in the urinary pathway. Often injury, constriction/compressed stones or any other possible foreign bodies may result in this pathological condition.

Urinary obstruction causes:

1. Vegadharana (suppression of natural urges)- Read a related article

2. Rooksha ahara (intake of dry food and less intake of water) – Rooksha means dry, Ahara means food.

3. Sroto rodha (obstruction to the urinary tract due to stones, gravel, foreign body etc). Sroto means body channel, rodha means obstruction.

Origin of Retention of urine:

Due to the above said causative factors the Doshas get aggravated. It is predominantly Vata Dosha. The vitiated Doshas mix up with (samsarga) urine and hence obstruct the flow of urine. Here, due to the influence over Apana vata, cited at Basti pradesha (bladder) the pathology continues and the urinary retention is caused.

Common clinical features of urinary obstruction:

Here, one can find several possibilities like interrupted flow of urine, complete obstruction of the urinary tract, non production of urine, reduced or incomplete production of urine, incomplete or complete excretion of urine etc.

Classification of urine obstruction:

Based upon the clinical features, Ayurvedic text books explain 3 kinds of urinary obstruction.

1. Vata kundalika:

Due to dry food, less intake of water or suppression of natural urges, Vata dosha is vitiated and it is lodged in bladder. As it vitiates urine, it is retrograded (kundalikrita) and drive the urine in interrupted manner.

It is common in the people who work in night shift and in those who take junk and spicy food excessively.

2. Ashteela (Vatashteela):

Specific causes aggravate Vata dosha and hence obstruct the urinary pathway by distending the bladder and rectum. This causes severe pain during urination as well as defecation.

This is common in the people who are with sedentary life style.

3. Vata basti:

Constant suppression of urinary urge (due to various personal factors), aggravated Vata obstructs the urethral orifice of the urinary bladder. Thus, it inhibits the excretion mechanism of urine. This leads to partial or full retention of urine in the bladder. Ultimately it causes pain in the abdomen and supra pubic (lower abdomen) area. Often itching or irritation may be also associated as there is relaxation of muscular coat and contraction of sphincters.

It is very common in working women, executives and people who travel for long.

4. Mutrateela:

Withholding (suppression) the urinary urge for longer duration or post pone of the urge results in gradual (slow) excretion of urine when one goes for urination. This is called mutrateela. In this condition often pain may complain passing little by little urine. This is usually caused due to fatigue of the muscles and sphincters due to constant withholding of urine.

This is common in women, drivers, executive officers, managers and those with high profession who are busy due to their work schedule.

5. Mutra jatara:

Constant suppression of urinary urge leads to back pressure and hence the bladder is distended. Further, vitiated Apana vata occupies whole bladder and nearby organs and causes severe distention due to exerted pressure. Thus, it creates excruciating pain in the lower part of the bladder. Often gaseous distention of abdomen and constipation are also associated. When the individual goes for urination, large amount of urine is passed with difficulty in prolonged time period. It is common in the school children, security guards and officers, accountants, bank employees, painters etc.

6. Mutrotsanga:

When the urine is obstructed in the bladder or urethra for longer duration, due to various factors (functional or structural), there will be haematuria (blood with urine). Or else little urine is passed with difficulty (dribbling) or with pain. Such a condition is called as Mutrotsanga. Obstruction due to foreign bodies or urinary stones may also lead into such a condition.

This is commonly witnessed in the patients with long persisting diseases of urogenital system like urinary calculi, recto-vesicle fistula, chronic kidney disorders etc.

7. Mutrakshaya: In the individuals who are physically exhausted, those who suffer from dehydration (primary or secondary), the aggravated vata and pitta Doshas occupy the bladder. Due to this, the quantity of output of urine is reduced and hence pain and burning sensation are associated with the main complaint of dysuria. This condition is called Mutrakshaya in Ayurvedic classics. Kshaya means decrease. Mutra means urine.

This is common in the laborers who work near the fire and in chemical factories, mines etc.

8. Mutragranthi:

Due to the respective factors rakta (blood), vata and kapha are vitiated and they are lodged in the urethral orifice causing a cystic or nodular growth. Due to this, the person passes the urine with much difficulty. The patient will feel excruciating pain similar to the pain caused during urinary calculi. The condition is known as Mutra granthi.

This is seen commonly witnessed in bed ridden patients.

9. Mutrashukra: Shukra means semen. The person who indulges in sex, while he is having the urge of urination, will ejaculate the semen mixed with urine or excretes the urine before or after seminal ejaculation. In this condition, the semen appears like ash dissolved in urine.

This diseases condition is found only in men and in those who have severe sexual urge and unplanned sexual indulgence.

10. Ushna vata: Heavy exercise, long walk under extreme Sunligh cause the aggravation of pitta and vata dosha. The aggravated doshas are lodged in the urinary pathway. There, it causes inflammation in the nearby areas -bladder, urethra, rectum etc. This leads to yellowish urine or blood mixed urine. In this condition, the individual passes the urine with difficulty (dysuria) and very frequently. Severe pain is also associated. It is observed in the outdoor workers, laborers, sports persons etc.

11. Mutrasada:

Vitiated pitta and kapha doshas together lodged in urinary bladder. There, the urine is concentrated and consolidated by Vata dosha. It produces reddish yellow (hematuria) urine which is often associated with solids (cast cells). Burning sensation, dysuria and itching are also associated in this condition.

It is common in the patients with chronic renal failure or dehydration conditions.

12. Vidwighata: Vit means faeces Vighata means obstruction.

In the individuals with dry nature (vata prakriti) and who are debilitated, often vata aggravates and the stools are derived upwards (retrograded). Meanwhile, vitiated Vata moves through the urinary tract and enters the bladder. Due to this, the individual excretes urine with the smell of stools. Difficulty in micturition is associated along with mild pain.

It is found as surgical complication in few of the surgeries related to the abdominal organs or uro- genital system.

13. Basti kundala:

Long travelling or heavy brisk walk, jumping, falling, physical exertions, injury etc may cause the disposition/prolapse of the urinary bladder. Due to this, the bladder will bulge and attain upward protrusion. This causes severe pain, pulsation, burning sensation and distress. This ultimately leads to interrupted urine, pain and stiffness, cramps, distress in the lower abdomen (supra pubic area), heaviness etc.

This is common in accidental injuries, sports injuries, wrestling, stampede etc.

General line of treatment of Obstructed urine:

The general line of treatment of urinary obstruction includes oleation (snehana), sweating therapy (swedana), oleaginous purgation (snigdha virechana), enema (basti) and urethral enema (uttara basti). Among the oral medications, priority is given for soothening, coolant, sweet and unctuous- diuretic (mutrala) substances.

So it is told in classical Ayurveda literature that the enemies (enmity) and diseases should be checked as and when they are originated and one should not wait till it completely triggers up.

If this is the case with your life partner, here are some ways by which you can treat the problem at home and stay away from frustration and disappointment. We have top ten home remedies for

Home Remedies For Erectile Dysfunction

1) GarlicGarlic

Garlic is a bulb that is known to increase the blood circulation in the body. The allicin that is present in garlic has antioxidant powers that help in strengthening the blood flow to the sexual organs.

Three to four cloves of garlic must be taken for three months regularly. The cloves can be fried in cow’s ghee in a low flame until it turns golden brown and the cloves consumed every day to get the same result. Cow’s ghee removes the heat from garlic, but retains the aphrodisiac qualities. After three months, noticeable difference can be found in sexual performance.

2) Walnut And HoneyWalnut-And-Honey

Walnut is a dry fruit that benefits the health of male sexual organs greatly. The nutrients that are present in walnut such as zinc, iron etc. are needed for sexual performance and optimum function of the male sexual organ. Walnut also contains an amino acid, arginine which aids in the production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide helps in the dilation of blood vessels and more blood flows to the sexual organs, thereby treating ED.

When walnut is mixed with honey, its potency becomes double fold. This is because honey too is a natural aphrodisiac and has the capacity to increase nitric oxide levels in the blood. Honey is also rich in vitamins B,E and zinc, which are required for sexual health and performance. Take 3 ounces of honey and take it along with walnuts every day for great results. Drink a cup of warm milk after consuming honey and walnut to enhance performance.

Onions too are known to be aphrodisiacs and hence great for treating ED. A soup can be prepared by slicing one medium sized onion and adding this to a cup of water. Bring to a boil and then simmer for ten minutes. This should be taken before bedtime. Onions can also be eaten raw to enjoy its benefits.

White onions are known to have the best aphrodisiac properties. Onions are natural blood thinners due to the presence of allicin and this helps in increasing the circulation of blood in the body. Since ghee too has the power to enhance sexual performance, another way to take onions is to slice them and fry them in ghee until it turns brown. This can be consumed every day before bed. Flavour it with honey to make it more strong.

4) Ladies FingerLadies-Finger

Ladies finger is known to be a sexual tonic and has been in use since ancient times to treat varying sexual problems.

They can also be eaten as a snack for good results.
