Female Sexual Health & Vitality

True health is state of continual and persistent well being. It is not temporary and transient, or rather it should not be. And what would constitute well being?  Ayurveda, the art and science of knowledge and living, describes health as a state where the body, mind and spirit are in perfect harmony with each other.  A woman who is health personified is easy to detect, her radiance, her confidence and her general personality reflect her all round well being.  

Ayurveda believes the key difference between a man and woman is that of creativity; nature specifies that only a woman is able to give birth to a new life.  This process of creation of a new life is invariably linked to her fertility which is relevant upon her sexual health, energy and vitality. A healthy sexual life is the cornerstone for a woman to lead a satisfying life in all spheres of her life. A woman’s core belief in her sexuality is the basic platform for her to function as a normal, passionate and vibrant person.

But what happens when a woman ceases to experiences that passion or desire? The factors contributing to a loss of libido can be many, ranging from physical to psychological; hormonal imbalances, menopause, hysterectomies, aging, stress, depression, domestic problems etc all can affect a woman’s desire to function sexually.  

Often, a lot of women go through this phase without even being aware that something is amiss. Our society does not encourage talking about sexual problems openly, more so for females.  But the implications of these sexual disorders, if not controlled early, can be far reaching. An unsatisfying sexual life can affect a woman on all levels, physical, mental as well as emotional. Not only personal relationships or marriages can be affected but on a more serious note the woman may lose her confidence to function as an energetic, healthy sexual female.
