Male–Female Sexual Disorders: An Integrative Ayurvedic Approach
Introduction
Sexual health is a vital component of physical, emotional, and relational well‑being. Sexual disorders—including low libido, arousal difficulties, orgasmic dysfunction, erectile dysfunction (ED), premature ejaculation (PE), and painful intercourse—affect millions globally. These disorders significantly impact confidence, emotional health, and intimate relationships. Ayurveda views sexual vitality as a reflection of overall health, governed by balanced Vata, Pitta, Kapha, strong Ojas, and a harmonious mind–body connection.

Ayurveda’s Perspective on Sexual Disorders
Ayurveda recognizes sexual disorders under concepts such as:
- • For Men: “Klaibya” (ED, low performance)
Attributed to Vata imbalance, stress, Shukra dhatu depletion, and impaired Ojas. - • For Women: “Rasa–Shukra Dhatudushti,” Vata‑Pitta imbalance
Manifesting as low desire, dryness, pain, difficulty with arousal.
Root‑cause imbalances include:
- • Weak digestive fire (Agni)
- • Stress, anxiety, emotional suppression
- • Hormonal disturbances
- • Circulatory and nervous‑system imbalances
