Low libido or lack of sex drive is the most common sexual dysfunction. Lack of libido or low libido is most common in women but quite rare in men.
According to Ayurveda, libido is low when there is a weakness or debility in the male or female reproductive tissue. In addition, low sexual drive can be due to stress, health problems and even anxiety or emotional problems. It may affect one’s relationships or marriage but sometimes it is a healthy response by the body to shut off excess loss of health giving vital fluid.
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.
Sexual power is lacking in low libido and in the Ayurveda approach, there are several ways to increase libido for both men and women.
