Low Libido in Women
Low libido in women is something that is commonly experienced, but it usually goes unnoticed and unaddressed by women. This condition can have an impact on a woman’s emotional health, her relationships, and her overall quality of life. Factors such as stress, hormonal imbalances, nutrition deficiencies, and mental health issues have all recently played a larger role than ever before on women's sexual desire because of today’s busy lifestyles.

Ayurvedic Perspective, Causes & Treatment
According to Ayurveda, low libidos are caused by imbalance within our bodies; and this can be seen through three different doshas:
Vata Dosha – mainly associated with dryness, anxiety, and lack of energy.
Pitta Dosha – primarily responsible for hormonal levels (imbalance) + irritation.
Kapha Dosha – if a person has excess Kapha in the body, there will be little energy and stimulation.
In accordance to Ayurveda, low libido can also be attributed to specifically low amounts of Shukra Dhatu (reproductive tissue) and low levels of Ojas (bodily energy).
Ayurvedic Causes
- Poor digestion (Imbalance of Agni)
- Toxin build up (Ama)
- Stress + mental imbalances
- Improper lifestyle (Disturbances to Dinacharya)
- Weak reproductive tissue (Shukra Dhatu Kshaya)

Herbs like Ashwagandha, Shilajit, Safed Musli, and Gokshura help improve strength, energy, and vitality. - Detoxification (if required)
