Ayurvedic Concept
Ayurveda has suggested that the age for male sexual activity begins at 21 years of age and onwards. Up to this age, the male's natural semen production (testosterone) reaches the optimum level. Before this age, semen is under unripe conditions. Performing sex prematurely causes weakness of the semen, which may result in infertility later on, low erectile power, poor libido & lack of sexual urge. Similarly, from its optimum level it starts decreasing 1 to 2 % per year and comes down to the level of 50 % at the age of 50. Ayurveda has a wide definition of health including healthy body, mind & soul. It is not only the absence of disease. A person, having no disease physically but under stress, will not enjoy life. ”Vajikarna” is a branch of Ayurveda, which deals with the human vigor. It not only promotes the sexual capacity by increasing the production of healthy semen, but also it improves the physical and psychological health of an individual.
Sex is an important part of life. It is as necessary as food. This involves both the physical as well as psychological states of the body and mind. Ayurveda has dealt with its various aspects from impotency to fertility. Decreased sexual desire, premature ejaculation, deficiency of erection and diminished pleasure are the usual outcome of premature sexual indulgence, over sex and excessive use of alcohol, tobacco and drugs. In these conditions both psyche and physical doshas (humors) are associated, i.e., Rajas mind (gives more excitement) and Tamas (induces laziness, loss of vigor but increased sexual urge) as well as Vata (air), Pitta (fire) and Kapha (water). These doshas (humors) cause the production of defective semen and loss of vigor.
The various symptoms produce by their vitiation are:
Vata (air
) type: Frothy semen, low ejaculation time, decreased viscosity and weakness while ejaculating.
Pitta (fire) type: Semen with impaired color and foul smell due to infection.
Kapha (water) type: High viscosity of semen. In the same way constant exposure to debilitating/ invalidating physical or mental circumstances, tend to weaken the vital constituents and lead overall emaciation. These could be worries, tension, shock, anxiety, jealousy, hyper excitation, lack of desire, depressive mood and emotional weakness. All of these circumstances lead to the disturbance of psychological (Doshas) (humors). These Doshas (humors) are ultimately related with the physical humors Vata (air), Pitta (fire) and Kapha (water). So, to keep the body physically, as well as mentally fit, a proper blend of herbs is as Vigor Forte.

Uterous Care

Natural herbal female comfort

Possible Indication
Menorrhagia, uterine fibroid, ovarian cyst, endometrial hyperplasia, adenomyosis (invasion of the muscular wall of an organ by the glandular tissue).
Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the womb usually produced by hormonal imbalance resulting in the over production of estrogen. They often produce no symptoms but can cause excessive menstrual bleeding and pelvic discomfort. Usually bleeding may become more severe due to high blood pressure or increase with blood pressure.
After the period of menopause, small fibroids usually disappear with the contraction of uterus membranes and dryness in vaginal canal. In the case of extra large fibroids, these are to be removed surgically.
Herbal formulations in Ayurveda may be a complementary alternative, which would support the natural healing (withdrawal) potential of fibroids, leaving the uterus intact and many times saves one from hysterectomy (the surgical removal of fibroids). Natural herbal remedies do not remove the fibroid mass. In case of large fibroids, the symptoms produced by them are relieved and fibroids usually shrink in size, remain within the uterus without producing any uneasiness or discomfort and additionally, helping to keep them from further growth.
Ayurvedic Concept
Fibroids can be related to the "Arbuda" and "Granthi" mentioned in Ayurvedic texts. Due to various causes of vitiation of the three humors (three doshas) [Vatta (air) Pitta (fire) and Kapha (water)], i.e. obesity, high intake of meat, saturated fat, dairy products, sugar, chocolates, caffeine, drugs and alcohol, these humors (doshas) become imbalanced (excessive or deficient). These imbalanced doshas (humors) vitiate the mamsa (muscle fibers) of any part of the body. They give rise to the origin of Arbuda or Granthi.
In Arbuda, blood and meda (fatty constituents) are also vitiated. Therefore, in the initiation of tumors or fibroids, the three humors (doshas), as well as, the vitiation of Mamsa (muscle fibers), fat and blood play an important part. The humors (doshas) produce the various types of symptoms according to their nature.
Due to Vatta (air): Tumors or fibroids are big in size having internal bleeding and they tend to be malignant. The color of the menstrual bleeding may be dark and its nature will be thin and dry. The person will suffer from other symptoms like various aches in the body, sleeplessness, constipation and dryness of skin etc.
Due to Pitta (fire): Formation of fibroids is associated with inflammation, infection and they tend to be malignant. Other symptoms are menorrhagia, burning sensation, thirst, acidity and infection of urogenital systems.
Due to Kapha (water): Tumor is slow growing in nature and relatively bigger in size. Other symptoms are heaviness in body, lethargy, excessive sleep, and menorrhagia with lots of blood clots.

According to Ayurveda
The benefits of these herbs are to support and balance the symptoms of menorrhagia due to their styplytic action (cold and astringent qualities). Effective astringent action reduces excessive bleeding. They have been successfully used in dysmenorrhea and endometrial hyperplasia.
