Grinding herbs in a mortar and pestle for Ayurvedic medicine

These four herbs are the backbone of Vajikarana, the branch of Ayurveda for vitality and reproductive health. They are powerful, which is exactly why the right dose and a pure source matter.

Ashwagandha

An adaptogen that helps the body handle stress. Studies suggest it can improve sleep, reduce cortisol and support testosterone and sperm quality in some men. Not advised in pregnancy, and people with thyroid or autoimmune conditions should ask a doctor first.

Shilajit

A mineral-rich resin from the Himalayas, used for energy and stamina. Raw or poorly purified shilajit can contain heavy metals, so only use purified (shodhit) shilajit from a licensed pharmacy.

Safed Musli

A traditional tonic for strength and vitality, often combined with Ashwagandha.

Kaunch Beej (Mucuna pruriens)

A natural source of L-DOPA, used for desire, mood and sperm health. It must be processed correctly and dosed carefully.

Why self-medication is risky

Online products often have unknown doses, fillers or even hidden chemical drugs. At Dr. Sheikh's clinic, formulations are prepared at Sahar Herbal Pharmacy, a GMP and ISO certified unit recognised by the Department of AYUSH, Haryana, and prescribed according to your body type and health.

Hindi mein

अश्वगंधा तनाव कम करता है, शिलाजीत ताक़त देता है, सफ़ेद मूसली और कौंच बीज वाजीकरण में उपयोग होते हैं। लेकिन सही मात्रा और शुद्ध दवा ज़रूरी है, इसलिए डॉक्टर की सलाह से ही लें।
