Erectile Dysfunction and Ayurveda
Ayurveda is an oldest healthcare system that maintains all the three doshas (vata, pitta and kapha) of the body in order to support overall health of the body in a natural way.
In Ayurveda, “Apaanavayu” is one of the five types of vayu which is located in the urinary bladder, testicles, phallus, umbilicus, thighs, groin, anus and colon. Vayu helps in ejaculation of semen, voiding of urine and stools.
Sushruta (text on Ayurveda) explains the process of erection and ejaculation as: when a man has desire for sex, then his response to touch increases. This happens because vayu located in the skin causes the signals to flow from skin to brain and causes sensation of touch.
