Low sex drive, premature ejaculation, poor semen quality and infertility have become common problems, especially among men aged 25 to 55 years.
It is often seen that despite everything physically looking normal, fatigue, depression and lack of confidence persist. Men hesitate to talk openly about this issue, which further increases the problem. Due to hesitation and shame prevalent in the society, many men become victims of mental exhaustion. However, Ayurveda offers a profound and scientific solution to this condition: Vajikarana Therapy. Dr. Kamal Raheja has given more information in this regard.
Why does men's sexual health deteriorate?
Nowadays the main reasons affecting the sexual health of men are:
Irregular lifestyle and wrong diet
Lack of sleep and excessive use of digital devices
Mental stress, depression and self-doubt
Smoking, alcohol and drug use
hormonal imbalance
effects of chronic diseases or medications
Hot environments or excessive use of devices such as laptops
These factors affect the quantity and quality of semen, sperm count, sexual desire and performance.
What is Vajikaran?
In Ayurveda, Vajikarana is not just limited to “increasing sexual power”. It is a holistic medical system, whose aim is to bring back balance in the physical, mental and emotional health of men. The word "vajikaran" comes from Sanskrit, meaning "horse"—an animal that symbolizes strength, enthusiasm, and energy. The main objective of Vajikaran is to give the same energy and strength to men.
How is Vajikaran treatment done?
Vajikaran treatment is a multi-pronged treatment process that focuses on:
Complete patient assessment: First of all, the person's doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), mental state, diet, behavior and sleep quality are completely examined. It is not only a process of understanding the disease, but also a process of understanding the patient.
Medical Treatment: Special herbs and chemicals are used, such as: Ashwagandha: Reduces stress and increases sexual potency, Shilajit: Increases energy and semen quality, Kaunch Beej, Gokhru and Shatavari: Helps in fertility, Swarna Bhasma, Vrishya medicines: Increases Ojas, Tejas and semen retention capacity. These are mixed according to the nature and condition of the person.
Panchakarma Treatment: When toxins accumulate in the body, the effect of Vajikaran may reduce. That is why the body is cleaned with methods like Basti (medicated enema), Abhyanga (oil massage), Swedan (steam therapy), Shirodhara.
Yoga and Meditation: Yoga techniques like Ashwini Mudra, Bhastrika Pranayama, Nauli Kriya and Surya Namaskar awaken the prana energy in the body, stabilize the mind and boost self-confidence.
Psychological Counselling: By talking to men with empathy, their hesitations and feelings of guilt are understood. This is a part of treatment that is often more effective than medication.
Diet and daily routine: From an Ayurvedic perspective, sattvic, fresh and energy-boosting foods such as: dates, figs, cow's milk, mung beans, ghee, basil, ginger and jaggery are considered beneficial for men's sexual potency and semen production.
What to keep in mind?
It is important for men to understand that sexual health is not just a physical issue, but is deeply linked to their self-confidence, relationships and strength. Ayurveda, especially Vajikarana treatment, offers men not just treatment but a deeper solution for self-improvement, courage and balance.
Men should not hesitate about this. This is a personal but very common problem, which if corrected in time, can bring back not only physical strength but also mental stability and emotional depth.
