Ayurveda or Ved-Science is one of the oldest medical sciences in the world and is known to promote good health and long life through nature-obtained solutions. The fundamentals of Ayu-Life date back to 5,000 years ago with the wisdom of Yoga, Upanishads and Samkhya incorporated in it.
While maintaining the body, mind, and spirit in perfect equilibrium with nature, Ayurveda is the science and art of healing and living.
Amongst many ayurvedic chikitsas for different medical conditions, Vajikaran Chitiksa marks its place as a speciality of Ashtanga Ayurveda. Also known as Vrishya Chikitsa, it focuses on the aspects of aphrodisiacs, virility and progeny and promotes a good physique, strength, sexual potency and attractive complexion.
