Low libido or Low sex drive in Men
Ayurveda remedies for Low libido
Low libido or lack of sex drive is the most common sexual dysfunction. This sexual dysfunction can drain intimacy from the relationship. Lack of libido or low libido is most common in women but quite rare in men.
Men with low sex drive can achieve erections but have very less desire for sex. But men with erectile dysfunction usually have a normal sex drive.
As this therapy increases the strength of a man to perform sexual act, like a horse, it is called 'Vajikaran'. ('Vaaji'=Horse.)
Vaajikaranamanvicchet purusho nityamatmawan|
Thadaayattou hi dharmarthou preetishcha yasha yevacha ||
Putrasyaayatanam hyetad gunashchaite sutashrayaha |
This means "The person who takes virility therapy after rejuvenation therapy gets offspring. Through these offspring he gains the happiness."
