Men often seek Ayurvedic treatment for weak reproduction due to loss of libido. A lack of desire and power can not only harm a relationship physically but also emotionally. Such a situation can be embarrassing for both partners. This can lead to dissatisfaction, stress and anxiety.
So, to start, I would like to say that Ayurveda does not eliminate any sexual problem. It helps manage problems and improve sexual well-being.
Let’s take a look at some of the Ayurvedic ingredients that have proven useful as sex tonics:
1. Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha is a powerful aphrodisiac and could help stress-induced male infertility by improving testosterone levels. Ashwagandha has an antioxidant property and fights against free radicals. This prevents sperm damage and death, which improves the number and quality of sperm. Thus, Ashwagandha could reduce the risk of male infertility induced by stress and improve male sexual health.
Tip:
1. Ashwagandha Tablets
- Take 1–2 Ashwagandha tablets with warm milk or water.
2. Ashwagandha Capsules
- Take 1–2 Ashwagandha capsules with warm milk or water.
3. Ashwagandha Churna
- Take 1/2 teaspoon of Ashwagandha root powder alongside ghee, sugar, and honey daily for a month once or twice each day to enhance sperm quality.
- Or, mix 1/2 teaspoon of Ashwagandha root powder during a glass of warm milk.
- Drink this at bedtime.
4. Ashwagandha Tea
- In two cups of water, add a teaspoon of Ashwagandha powder.
- Bring it to a boil.
- Boil the mixture until it reduces to 1/2 of the original quantity.
- Let it cool for some time and then add some milk and honey to it.
- Enjoy this beverage in the morning and evening.
5. Ashwagandha Milkshake
- Roast 4 tablespoons of Ashwagandha Churna in 1 cup of pure ghee.
- Add 2 tablespoon of honey to it.
- Add 1 teaspoon of this powder to 1 glass of cold milk to consume it.
- Blend it well
- Immediately drink for maximum benefits and taste.
- You can store this mixture in the refrigerator and use it when needed.
2. Safed Musli
- Safed Musli has spermatogenic properties and helps improve sperm quality and sperm count. It also improves testosterone levels, which further improves blood circulation to the genitals for longer erections. So, it could be effective in male infertility and other sexual disorders like erectile dysfunction
- A study indicates that Safed Musli can also be used to prevent premature ejaculation as well as to improve sperm count. Another study indicates that it improves strength and endurance. Thus, Safed Musli is used as a good aphrodisiac and a conditioner.
Tip:
1. Safed Musli Churna (Powder)

- It will improve libido (sexual desire), and manage erectile dysfunction.
3. Shatavari
- Shatavari is considered to be both a general tonic and a female reproductive tonic.
- Shatavari is the main rejuvenating Ayurvedic tonic for women, as is Ashwagandha for men. Shatavari reduces general weakness and helps improve the reproductive system.

4. Gokshura
- Gokshura is considered a powerful aphrodisiac and could increase sexual desire in men. The active phytochemicals present in Gokshura improve the level of testosterone as well as the overall quality and quantity of sperm. This could help control infertility problems in men.
- The saponins present in Gokshura help manage erectile dysfunction because they strengthen penile tissue and improve penis erection. In one of the studies, Gokshura extract showed a significant increase in PCI or intracavernous pressure (a physiological marker of erectile function).
