Here in the "west" and in our modern scientific culture, our knowledge of the human physiology is still only just developing! We are truly just barely starting to understand how things operate and perhaps what we can do to fix things when they break down. Nowhere is this more evident than in the field of health for men as a medical specialty, or andrology (from the ancient Greek for andros or man, + logia or study). Did you know that this field emerged anddeveloped only in the late 1960-s? This might seem like a long time to some, but in contrast to Ayurveda, where the understanding of male stamina and health has been studied for literally thousands of years, it is truly not enough time! Ayurveda has known and used many different herbs, plants, preparations and methods to address ill-being and diseases for men, specially pertaining to the reproductive organs, which are a crucial element of health for so many reasons. Not merely as a locus for sexual entertainment or enjoyment as our modern culture tends to see it. There is a much bigger picture that we miss so often…
The Vedic shastras speak of human objectives (for men AND women) as being fourfold “purusharth:” “dharm, arth, kam, moksh.” These four objectives sum up the pursuits of all humans: dharm or ethical duty towards oneself and the collectivity one is born into; arth or pursuit of necessities to lead a disease-free life or even affluence so we can be productive societal beings; kam or pursuit of desire. Kam encompasses all desires, including carnal or sensual desire, and this is necessary aspect of the human joys of life, but it's also the universe's way of ensuring the evolution of the human species, and it inevitably takes us all to the final stage of desiring spiritual liberation, or moksh, once we've satisfied all our human desires. There are no short cuts. The most enlightened sage was also once a young adult reveling in the throes of sensual experiences in prior lifetimes. At least that's what the vedic shastras say… The point is not to try to evade it but to evolve out of it…
In the vedic tradition, the human lifespan is understood in 4 strokes: 1)Brahmachari ashram or early childhood and youth when one is primarily a student in many ways and where one naturally abstains from sexuality because one is still not fully developed on so many levels to engage in sexual activity; garhasta ashram or the stage of the householder when one is active professionally and personally; vanaprasht ashram or turning away from the “things of this world” to develop a life of detachment; and sanyas ashram or leading the life of a total renunciant.
Garhasta ashram is about being together with a partner, supporting one other to thrive and to develop through and as a family, inviting new souls into the world, to keep the wheel of evolution going. In this sense, in Ayurveda, the topic of male virility is particularly important, as it goes hand in hand with the continuation and evolution of the world as we know it. The Charak Samhita devotes a specific chapter to this topic entitled “Vajikarna.” In this chapter, several approaches are discussed to maintain, cure, and improve male virility. From recipes to the use of single herbs or herbal synergies, different protocols are listed and explained. Vaidya Mishra made full use of this precious knowledge, along with the ancestral skills bequeathed by his fathers and passed down for generations, to develop unique health protocols and formulations for men.
Nowhere is this ancient science for male stamina and health more evident than in the rasayana formulations of Ayurveda. Vaidya Mishra had in-depth knowledge of herbs and their complex interactions and properties and created the most exquisite products to support and enhance balance and health in the male physiology. Here is an impeccable example, the “Rasayana Abhyanga Oil For Men Herbal Synergy.” How does it work? Let's look at the ingredients: it has:
Ashwagandha: Famous adaptogenic herb that helps us adapt easily to stress mentally and physically. Nourishes and enhances the function of the nerves;
Mucuna: A tonic legume which gives physical, mental and spiritual energy. Transdermally, mucuna increases dopamine, a bliss enhancing nero-transmitter;
Lata Kasturi: Provides aromatic energy to increase bliss;
Amla: alkalizes and nourishes the skin transdermally;
Musli: is a great Vajikarana ingredient – it promotes masculine stamina. Musli supplies transdermal nourishment for the male physiology;
Shatavari: Lubricates and nourishes the skin. Shatavari combined with musli supports the male phsyiology;
Guduchi: A maharasayana that nurtures the skin and has cumulative beneficial effect over long term;
DGL: Cools, alkalizes, and nurtures the skin;
Shankapushpi: Transdermal support for balancing the mind and its three functions (dhi, dhriti, and smriti). Shankapushpi with ashwagandha provide mental stamina and nurture the physical brain organ.
