A study by the WHO found that many couples face problems having babies, and some of these issues come from the men. Stressful lives can make it harder for couples to have babies. Some women face difficulties because of different reasons like birth, immune system, or hormone issues. Some men also have problems like low sperm count or issues with sex and ejaculation. While there are medicines for these problems, they can be expensive and have bad side effects. Many people look for natural ways to help. Some plants have shown they might help, but more research is needed to be sure.
Understanding how our bodies work is important for knowing what helps us
feel romantic. Some people doubt if certain foods or plants really help with
romance, but many people have used them for a long time. To know for sure,
scientists study them carefully. This study looks at different plants that
people use in Ayurvedic medicine. Ayurvedic medicine is an ancient way of
healing. This study doesn't say which plants are the best, but it helps us
learn more about each plant and how it might help us.
Aphrodisiac Medicinal Plants: Exploring Backgrounds
The term "Aphrodisiac" means something that makes people feel
more loving or helps with love. Some plants, called medicinal plants, have been
used to make people feel more interested in love for a long time. In India,
there is a special therapy called Vajikarna in traditional medicine. It helps
with virility, which is related to love. Scientists are learning more about how
our bodies work in love, and they look for natural things that might help. Even
though some people might not believe in love potions, many have used them
throughout history. Scientists are studying medicinal plants to see if they can
really help with love problems.
Ayurvedic Medicinal Plants for Vajikaran
Ayurveda, an ancient system of medicine, mentions Vajikaran, a concept
from Rig Veda and Yajurveda. It involves using medicinal plants to enhance
well-being. The Kamasutra, a guide to satisfaction, links to Vajikaran
principles. It suggests that taking Vajikaran remedies can bring joy every
night for a healthy youth. These remedies help older individuals, those facing
aging issues, and people weakened by excessive activities. Even handsome youths
with multiple wives can benefit. Although some claims may seem speculative,
Vajikaran remains popular in Ayurvedic medicine. It has a long history of use
and is connected to the healing power of medicinal plants.
Ayurvedic Insights into Medicinal Plants and Sexual Functions
In Ayurveda, there are six types of sexual issues discussed:
1. Mental impotency occurs
when a man loses sexual desire due to bitter thoughts or forced intercourse
with a partner who doesn't arouse desire.
2. Consuming too many spicy,
acidic, or hot foods can lead to the loss of the watery principle in the body,
causing another type of impotency.
3. Virile impotency can result
from excessive sexual activity without using aphrodisiac remedies, leading to
the loss of semen.
4. Long-term diseases or
damage to the male reproductive organ can destroy the ability to have intercourse.
5. Sexual incapacity from
birth is known as congenital impotency.
6. The voluntary suppression
of sexual desire by a strong man or through apathy can harden the spermatic
fluid, causing the sixth form of virile impotence.
Among these, congenital and those due to the destruction of the
spermatic cord are considered incurable, while the others can be treated with
appropriate measures and remedies addressing their specific causes.
Ayurveda's Medicinal Plants: Enhancing Aphrodisiac Properties
Traditional Ayurvedic treatises classify aphrodisiacs into five
categories. Some medicinal plants within each category include:
1. Drugs increasing semen
quantity: Microstylis wallichii, Roscoea procera, Polygonatum verticillatum,
Mucuna pruriens, Asparagus racemosus.
2. Drugs purifying and
improving semen quality: Saussurea lappa, Myrica nagi, Sesamum indicum,
Vetiveria zizanioides, Anthocephalus cadamba.
3. Drugs enhancing ejaculatory
functions: Strychnos nux vomica, Cannabis sativa, Myristica fragrans, Cassia
occidentalis.
4. Drugs delaying ejaculation
or improving performance: Sida cordifolia, Asparagus racemosus, Cinnamomum
tamala, Anacyclus pyrethrum, Mucuna pruriens, Cannabis sativum.
5. Drugs arousing sexual
desire: Withania somnifera, Asparagus racemosus, Datura stramonium, Anacyclus
pyrethrum, Hibiscus abelmoschus, Opium.
Exploring the Ayurvedic perspective on Vajikarana herbs emphasizes their
role. Additionally, understanding modern pharmacology sheds light on the
control of sexual behavior in the human body.
Modern Perspectives on the Mechanisms of Sexual Behavior
Understanding sexual arousal involves considering neural (sensory and
cognitive), hormonal, and genetic factors. In Ayurveda, these factors are also
acknowledged, but the explanation is adapted to a scientific language relevant
to the present era.
Brain and Neurochemical Foundations of Sexual Behavior
Drugs influencing sexuality can target the central nervous system (the
brain) and/or the peripheral nervous system. Those affecting the brain and
potential sex centers often impact sexual arousal positively or negatively.
Some drugs may act directly on neurons, chemically altering them, while others
may indirectly affect sexual function by altering blood flow to the genitalia.
Various neurotransmitters, including norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin,
acetylcholine, and histamine, are implicated in sexual behavior. Dopamine, for
instance, plays a crucial role in male sexual activity, with increased activity
correlating with sexual engagement. The interplay between dopamine and nitric
oxide at different neuronal levels is discussed further.
Exploring Sexual Behavior: Insights into Nitric Oxide
Nitric oxide (NO) has an important job in our bodies. It helps with
things like penile erection, making the blood vessels in the penis wider and
muscles smoother. This allows more blood to flow, making the penis bigger and
harder. Some medicines, like sildenafil, use NO to help with erectile
dysfunction. There are also special plants called medicinal plants, like
ginseng, that can affect how NO works in our bodies. People are studying how
these plants might change our feelings and behaviors, especially in
relationships, but we're not sure yet if they're as magical as some stories
say..
Sexual Behavior Through Androgen Mechanism
Medicinal plants are important for health. They can help with various
things in our body. For example, androgens like testosterone are crucial for
male development and affect puberty, fertility, and how our bodies work.
Testosterone, made in the testes, helps create sperm and has different effects.
Androgens also affect something called NO in our brains and bodies. NO is like
a messenger in our bodies. When rats get testosterone, it increases NO, and NO
helps release dopamine in the brain. This is how androgens, like testosterone,
make our bodies ready for exciting things like having an erection.
Some Medicinal Plants: Enhancing Sexual Functionality
Let's talk about some medicinal medicinal plants that are known to have
positive effects on sexual functions. These medicinal plants, rooted in
Ayurveda and other traditional practices, have a strong reputation for treating
sexual issues. They've been used in various preparations aimed at improving
sexual performance and fertility, especially in males.
In addition to the mentioned medicinal plants, a large number of plants
have undergone testing for their impact on sexual functions and reproductive
parameters. You can find a detailed list of these medicinal plants in Table 2.
Researchers have explored the active components in these medicinal plants that
contribute to enhancing sexual activity, promoting spermatogenesis, and
displaying other positive effects on reproductive parameters.
1, Kalo Musli (Curculigo orchioides)
Curculigo orchioides, also known as Kali Musli or Syah Musli, is a
medicinal plant with aphrodisiac and rejuvenating properties. Studies show its
rhizome extract improves sexual behavior, enhancing parameters like penile
erection and mating performance. It increases the weight of reproductive
organs, indicating a positive effect. The treatment reduces mount latency,
increases mount frequency, and improves attraction towards females. The plant's
aqueous extract also helps with sexual behavior, reducing latency times and
improving penile erection. It's beneficial for issues like heat-induced damage
to testicular function, aiding spermatogenesis in treated animals. Curculigo
orchioides proves useful in addressing physically induced sexual dysfunction,
showcasing its role as a medicinal plant.
2, Seto Musli (Chlorophytum borivilianum)
Seto Musli, also known as Chlorophytum borivilianum, is a special plant
with medicinal properties. It helps animals become healthier and improves their
ability to have babies. The plant extract from its dried roots makes them more
active and interested in each other. It also helps male animals have more
babies. In another test with sick rats, the extract from Safed Musli, another
name for Seto Musli, helped them feel better and perform better in having
babies. This tells us that special plants like Seto Musli can be like medicine
for animals, making them healthier and better at having babies.
3, Kaauso (Mucuna pruriens)
Mucuna pruriens is a special plant used for medicine in Nepal. It helps
with making babies and improving parts of the body. This plant is good for

harm.
In tests, the plant made sick men healthier. It improved the baby-making
parts and made the seeds and the liquid around them better. The plant is like a
superhero for men who want to have babies. It keeps them healthy and strong.
4, Gokharu (Tribulus terrestris)
Gokharu, or Tribulus terrestris Linn., is a medicinal plant known for
its aphrodisiac properties. It belongs to the Zygophyllaceae family and is
commonly called puncture vine. This plant, found worldwide, has traditional
uses in addressing health issues like urinary infections, inflammations, and
more. In ancient Chinese and Indian medicine, Gokharu was used for various
ailments, particularly known for enhancing sexual functions in males. Studies
have shown that Gokharu can boost testosterone levels and spermatogenesis. It
also has a proerectile effect, enhancing sexual behavior. The plant's impact on
androgen receptors and neurons suggests a mechanism for its aphrodisiac
effects. Gokharu is a valuable medicinal plant.
5, Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)
Withania somnifera, also known as Ashwagandha, is a medicinal plant in
Ayurvedic medicine. It's like a superhero plant that helps with various things,
including making babies. Some studies say it might affect how mice behave and
make baby mice, but other research thinks it could actually help guys who want
to be dads by reducing stress.
People did tests with Ashwagandha on men, and guess what? It made their
baby-making stuff better! The plant's root extract helped increase the number
of sperm and made them swim better. It also reduced stress, making everyone
happier. So, Ashwagandha is like a friendly plant that might help dads-to-be.
6, Kurilo (Asparagus racemosus)
Kurilo, a plant known for its roots, is being studied for its potential
in treating sexual issues. Scientists looked at extracts from the roots, using
different solutions. They found saponins, carbohydrates, glycosides, and
mucilages in the extracts. Tests on male rats showed that the hydro-alcoholic
extract, especially at a higher concentration (400 mg/kg body weight),
increased mating activities significantly. The lower dose of hydro-alcoholic
extract (200 mg/kg) and the aqueous extract (400 mg/kg) had some effects too.
This study suggests that extracts from Asparagus racemosus, a medicinal plant,
may influence sexual activity in experiments.
7, Red Kwao Krua (Butea superba)
Butea superba, or "Red Kwao Krua," grows in Thai forests.
People use its roots for traditional medicine. A study gave male subjects B.
superba extract for six months. Results showed more sperm and better motility
without harm to testicles. Yet, too much B. superba powder in rats caused
issues. It affected blood and testosterone. Also, the extract helped penile
erection by increasing pressure. Studies say B. superba might treat erectile
dysfunction. These findings highlight the plant's potential as a medicinal
herb.
