Premature Ejaculation of Sperm Treatment in Ayurveda

Ayurveda treatment for Premature Ejaculation of Sperm

Premature Ejaculation of Sperm or early ejaculation, rapid ejaculation, rapid climax, premature climax, and (historically) ejaculatio praecox – refers to inability to last longer in sexual intercourse with your partner. Men’s typical ejaculatory latency is approximately 4–8 minutes. The opposite condition is delayed ejaculation. Men with premature ejaculation describe feeling that they have less control over ejaculating. This occurs when a man experiences orgasm and expels semen soon after sexual activity and with minimal penile stimulation.

Sex for humans is an expression of love, a sharing of intimacy, a form of communication, and often we feel it is an expression of our manhood or womanhood. However, it appears natural for a man to move toward vaginal intercourse, thrust upon penetration, and ejaculate quickly. The cause of PE could be temporary depression, stress, anxiety, a history of sexual repression, or a lack of emotional bonding between the partners. Physical disease can also be the reason, such as a swollen prostate gland (prostatitis), diabetes, sexually transmitted diseases, or cardiovascular disease.

  • Biological and psychological factors can also play a role in causing premature ejaculation.

Psychological Factors

  • Anxiety about intercourse,
  • Being in a situation in which you hurry towards a climax,
  • Cultural guilt related to sexual pleasure,
  • Erectile dysfunction,
  • Problems or lack of understanding between you and your partner,

Biological Factors

  • Hormonal problems with the thyroid gland or abnormal levels of sexual hormones in the body,
  • Problems with neurotransmitters in the brain, which therefore fail to carry right signals to the pleasure centers of the brain,
  • Problems with the reflex mechanism of your ejaculatory system,
  • Infection in the urethra or prostate,
  • Heredity, and
  • Damage to the nervous or sensory system due to either surgery or trauma.
  • Some medications impair the reflex activity of your sexual organs. This means that while you are on these medications, you may have no control over your ejaculations.
  • According to Ayurveda Premature ejaculation is caused by aggravation of Vata and Pitta Dosha.
  • These aggravated doshas cause hyperactivity of muscles in the male organ, thus increasing sensitivity to vibration
  • Vata is characterized by its qualities of quickness and heightened sensitivity to the sense of touch. This gives a predisposition towards quicker ejaculation.
  • According to Ayurveda Shukra dhatu (semen) is similar to purified butter. when there is Pitta (fire) aggravation in the body.
  • Aggravated Pitta travels into the channels carrying semen, causing semen to decrease in consistency(thinning), and thus it gets ejaculated before sufficient erection. Just as purified butter melts in the presence of heat. Thus semen loses its consistency

Dandruff Treatment in Ayurveda(Darunaka)

Introduction

Dandruff Treatment in Ayurveda(Darunaka)

Dandruff is caused due to excess shedding of dead skin cells from the scalps due to vitiation of Vata and Kapha Dosha. Usually a small rate of flaking is normal as skin cells die but in Dandruff Some people experience an unusually large amount of flaking.

Dandruff is extensively seen in people who are not habituated in applying oil over the head

Treatment

First and Foremost treatment includes application of medicated oil over head itself. One should apply oil in the head before taking head bath. After 45 one can take head bath but one should not remove this oil from head using soap or shampoo. The intention behind this is to retain a small sort of oil over head. Head wash using soap or shampoo should be done only once in 2 weeks.

The Oil recommended for this differs according to the condition:-

Medicated Oil recommended only for Dandruff should be medicated by adding drugs like Kushta, Mustha, Ela, Yashti, Durva, Dhurdhura, Durva, Guduchi, Kimshuka, Kera taila and Kera Ksheera.

Medicated Oil recommended for Dandruff associated with itching and skin disease should be medicated by adding drugs like Celastrus Paniculatus, Psoralea corylifolia, Wrightia tinctoria in Coconut oil base

Breast Asymmetry and Breast size Variations Ayurvedic Treatment

Breast Asymmetry and Breast size Variations Ayurvedic Treatment

Breasts serves as the mammary gland, which produces and secretes milk and feeds infants. At the same time Female breasts can figure prominently in a woman’s perception of her body image and sexual attractiveness. Since it is a part of her secondary sexual characteristics.

After Puberty a problem faced by many are either small size of their Breasts, Breast Asymmetry or Variation in Breast Size. Here we discuss the available Ayurvedic treatment in both cases.

Breast Asymmetry:-

Normally there will be a Asymmetry between the size of two breast, Up to 25% of women’s breasts display a persistent, visible breast asymmetry. For about five- to ten percent of women their breasts are substantially different with Left Breast being a little bit bigger than that of the right one. This is due to the left breast’s proximity to the heart, a greater number of arteries and veins, and a protective layer of fat surrounding the heart located beneath it.

Other than this lump formation in Breast in case of Breast cancer can also cause Breast Asymmetry, So for Breast Asymmetry first of all we have to rule out any chances of Breast cancer(Lump) by a self Breast examination.

Treatment:-

Intake of Ghee prepared using medicinal plants like Punarnnava, Dashamoola, Payasa, Ashwagandha, Eranda Moola, Shathavari,Pippali, Pippali Moola, Saindhava, Yashti, Madhuka, Mrdhwika, Yavani, Nagara Darbha, Ikshu Moola, Potagala along with Eranda Taila, Ghee, Milk. This Ghee preparation can nourish the Breast

Intake of Asava prepared using Medicinal plants like Shunti, Maricha, Pippali, Lavanga, Twak, Ela, Lodhra, Maskshika Bhasma, Kumari, Loha Bhasma, Honey, Jaggery. This particular preparation can act in hormonal level

Massaging Breast which is smaller in size when compared with the other one using medicated Oil prepared by adding drugs like Priyangu Pushpa, Vacha, Katuka, Lajjalu, Rajani in Tila Taila(Sesame Oil), Goghrtha(Cow Ghee), Mahisha Grhrtha etc for 45 mins. This Taila preparation can nourish the breast externally.

Njavara Application over Breast:-

 

  • Bala mula (roots of Sida cordifolia) is taken and should be washed with sterile water thoroughly so as to remove the dirt, mud and dust from them
  • The roots should then be cut into small pieces
  • The roots should now be put in a vessel consisting of water
  • The contents are boiled until ¼ of the taken content should remain
  • The solid part is filtered out
  • This is Bala kashaya (decoction of bala)
  • Next day morning equal portion of milk is added to this Kashaya
  • In this mixture of Kashayam and milk, Shashtika Shali (Shashtika rice) or Njavara Rice is added
  • Once the rice is cooked properly and a mere solid thick consistency is obtained, it is grinded into soft mass.
  • This should be filtered, applied over the breast which is smaller in size when compared with the other one and kept as such by bandaging it with a cloth.

Small Size Breast: Ayurvedic Treatment for Breast Enlargement

Above mentioned Ghrtha Preparation(Ghee), Asava Preparation etc should be taken as internal medicines in this case too.

Since in this case Enlargement of both breast is needed, Oil Massage and application of Njavara pudding should be done on both the breast.

  • Phytotoxic activity: Phytotoxic activity was determined by using the modified protocol of Lemna minor (Ali et al., 2009). The medium was prepared by mixing various constituents in 100 ml distilled water and the pH was adjusted (5.5-6.5) by adding KOH solution. The medium was then autoclaved at 121°C for 15 minutes. The extracts dissolved in ethanol (20 mg/ml) served as stock solution. Nine sterilized flasks, three for

each concentration, were inoculated with 1000 μl, 100 μl and 10 μl of the stock solution for 500, 50 and 5 pm respectively. The solvent was allowed to evaporate overnight under sterile conditions. To each flask, medium (20 ml) and plants (10), each containing a rosette of three fronds of Lemna minor L., was added. All flasks were plugged with cotton and kept in the growth cabinet for 7 days
