What
are sexual problems – (Erectile dysfunction) ?
Sex
is a function of our body, which is influenced by both physical as
well as psychological factors. A person should be in a healthy physical
and psychological state to enjoy a happy sexual life.
According
to Ayurved sexual activity serves the dual purpose of reproduction
and pleasure. The problems related to sex and their treatments are
described under a specialty branch called Vajikarana. Vajikarana is
defined as
1.
Vajivati baloyena iti Vajikarana – A person is capable
of performing a sexual act similar to the strength of a horse. ---
A quantitative approach
2.
Chaitya vriksha miva -- Helpful in producing a healthy progeny
by strengthening the quality of the sperm and total health of the
individual--- A qualitative approach.
Most
of the latest aphrodisiacs simply concentrate on the function of performance
but not on the quality of the sperm and the total health of the person.
The
herbs used in improving or correcting the sexual problems serve both
quantitatively and qualitatively without any side effects.
Most
of the sexual problems have their origin in the psychology of the
person, such as stress, anxiety, fear, mistrust etc.
