AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON LOW LIBIDO

Low libido due to poor circulation and metabolism is a sign of Kapha sluggishness. Pungent herbs can help stimulate Kapha arousal. Low libido, dryness & premature ejaculation due to dryness, overstimulation and exhaustion is Vata. Restoring electrolytes and fluids, relaxing the nervous system, and rest can help improve Vata's love making stamina. Low libido due to perfectionism is Pitta in nature. Pitta can be wooed with beauty (rose petals) and pleasant smelling aromas (gardenia). Pain during coitus for various reasons may also affect libido.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2

LOW LIBIDO IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2 - AFFECTING BLOOD & EMOTIONS

Affecting Blood: Initially, imbalances are localized, often in the digestive tract. As an imbalance grows, it starts to affect your body systemically, via the blood. If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are starting to spread, have entered the bloodstream, and are now systemic. Pay particular attention to the biocharacteristics, tastes, and doshas out of balance systemically, so you know how to strengthen your body as a whole, and reduce physical stress on your organs. At this stage of imbalance you will begin to experience generalized discomfort, imbalanced emotions, and may develop sensitivities to temperature. It may take several weeks of strict adherence to a specific remedial diet to clear blood level imbalances. Blood cleansing herbs may reduce symptoms. A several day cleanse may shorten the recovery time. (See all disease stages on JB)
