What is Frigidity?

Frigidity, often called female sexual arousal disorder, is characterised by a lack of sexual desire and difficulty in achieving sexual arousal. This condition can affect a woman's quality of life, causing distress and discomfort during intimate moments. Frigidity treatment targets both the physiological as well as psychological causes of the disorder.

For issues such as Frigidity, Ayurveda has a specialised branch called Vajikarana. Vajikarana therapy includes treatments to minimise shukra defects (sperm and ovum) and ensure a healthy progeny. It involves herbal remedies, diet adjustments and lifestyle changes to restore sexual health and libido.

Ayurveda offers a gentle and holistic approach for female sexual arousal disorder treatment. It seeks to relieve female sexual dysfunction symptoms and improve overall well being and stability in the person's life, offering a path to renewed sexual health and happiness.

Common Causes of Frigidity 

Frigidity, or female sexual arousal disorder, may occur due to various causes that interfere with a woman's sexual desire and response. These factors should be promptly identified as they can affect long-term emotional health and relationships.

The most common causes of Frigidity include:

• Hormonal Imbalances: Fluctuations in hormones like oestrogen and testosterone can reduce libido. This is common during menopause, post-pregnancy and because of thyroid problems.
• Psychological Factors: Stress, anxiety and depression are other causes of Frigidity. Emotional distress may decrease sexual desire and arousal and make intimate experiences less satisfying.
• Some Medications: Certain medications such as antidepressants and blood pressure drugs can impair sexual function and lead to a lower sex drive.
• Physical Health Problems: Sexual arousal and performance may be affected by chronic illnesses like neurological disorders, obesity, or diabetes, which might result in Frigidity.
• Relationship Problems: Emotional disconnect, unresolved conflicts, and poor communication with a partner may decrease interest in sexual activity.
• Past Trauma: A history of sexual abuse or negative sexual experiences can result in ongoing sexual dysfunction, including Frigidity.
• Lifestyle Factors: Excessive alcohol consumption, smoking and a sedentary lifestyle can impair blood flow and reduce overall energy, affecting sexual health.

Symptoms

Lack of Sexual Desire

A substantial loss of interest or desire for sexual activity that lasts for a long time is a typical symptom of Frigidity.

Reduced Sexual Arousal

Another common sign is difficulty in becoming sexually aroused despite a suitable environment or stimulation.

Lack of Physical Response

If sexual stimulation does not work on the body, this could indicate Frigidity. It may include lack of vaginal lubrication and other physical signs of arousal.

Discomfort/Pain during Intercourse

Feeling discomfort or pain during sexual intercourse that is not related to other medical conditions such as infection or hormonal problems.

Emotional Detachment During Sex

Feeling emotionally disconnected or distant during sexual activity, such as lack of enjoyment or satisfaction.

Inability to Achieve Orgasm

Ayurvedic Medicines for Frigidity

Ayurvedic medicine offers natural cures for Frigidity and holistic treatments to rejuvenate vitality and balance the body’s hormones. The following Ayurvedic herbs have proven to be especially useful for female sexual arousal disorder symptoms:

• Shatavari (Asparagus Racemosus): Shatavari is considered the "woman's herb" in Ayurveda, which supports the reproductive system, balances hormones and improves energy during sexual activities. Its anti-inflammatory properties keep sexual organs healthy.
• Cinnamon (Cinnamomum Zeylanica): Cinnamon is known to increase blood circulation, especially in the pelvic area, making it beneficial for sexual dysfunctions. It also promotes arousal and sensitivity during intimate moments.
• Gokshura (Tribulus Terrestris): This herb is known for stimulating androgen receptors in the human brain, which makes it more responsive to sex hormones and also enhancing sexual performance and libido.
• Triphala: A blend of three fruits - Amla, Bibhitaki, and Haritaki, Triphala helps with detoxification, rejuvenation and provides the vitality required for a healthy sexual response.
• Safed Musli (Chlorophytum Borivilianum): An aphrodisiac in action, Safed Musli helps increase blood circulation and production of sex hormones, enhancing sexual stamina and performance.
• Tulsi (Holy Basil): Tulsi is known to ease stress and anxiety, two common psychological causes of Frigidity. It also promotes physical health and mental clarity for improved sexual health.
• Shilajit: Shilajit is believed to enhance vitality and stamina by boosting cellular energy. Its properties help balance the hormones necessary for sexual health.
