Ayurveda and Men's Vitality: Vajikarana, Rasayana and the Herbs Used for Centuries

An ancient system with a modern following.

Quick answer

Ayurveda, India's traditional system of medicine, has a dedicated branch for male vitality called vajikarana, focused on strength, stamina, desire and fertility, alongside rasayana, the science of rejuvenation. Well-known Ayurvedic botanicals for men include shilajit (moomiyo), a mineral-rich mountain resin used as a rejuvenating tonic; Mucuna pruriens (kapikacchu), the velvet bean, a natural source of L-dopa; ashwagandha, used for stress and vitality; and gymnema (gurmar), used for sugar balance. Ayurveda also emphasises daily routine, good sleep, a balanced diet, exercise and a calm mind. Herbal products should be bought from reputable sources and discussed with a doctor if you take medication.
