Impotence

Possible Causes of Impotence:

• High cholesterol blocking the blood vessels leading to the penis
• Psychological and emotional reasons

Recommendations:

• Massage the lower part of your abdomen and the root of the penis with a few drops of mahanaryan oil.
• Apply bala oil or ashwagandha oil directly to the penis.
• Massaging above the prostate gland (midway between scrotum and anus) with any of mahanarayan, bala, ashwagandha oil or ghee with light pressure is also beneficial. First rub in circular motion and then stroke from anus to the base of the penis.
• Add freshly chopped garlic to milk kept for heating. Take ⅓ tsp of ashwagandha, ⅓ of bala and ⅓ rd of vidari with this milk twice a day for 3 months.
• Drink a cup of milk with some saffron every night before bed.
• If the cause is psychological, drink a cup of tea made by steeping ½ tsp of mixture of jatamamsi, brahmi, shanka pushpi in equal proportions in 1 cup of water. The ideal time to drink this tea is 1 hour before bed.
