Abstract

Currently, one of the blazing and stressful issues in society that impacts the mental health and wellbeing of an individual is male sexual disease. i.e. Premature ejaculation (PE). Premature ejaculation is a state in which men feels orgasm but ejaculates quickly with minimal penile stimulation after initiation of sexual act. Whereas an exclusive definition is not defined in Ayurveda classics for Premature ejaculation but is categorized as Shukragata Vata disease. But the direct reference was mentioned in the classics for premature ejaculation under the treatment aspect. There the ancient classics have mentioned about Viryastambhana dravyas i.e. those drugs that help in preventing early ejaculation or delay the ejaculation. These drugs are also the best aphrodisiac medications. One of the Literature which has majorly contributed to the treatment perspective is Bhaishajya Ratnavali. Hence we have focused on the treatment modality according to this Samhita in treating Premature ejaculation as resolving this health hazard is the need of the hour.
