International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences (IJRMS), Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2020

Objective:

The study aimed to clinically evaluate the aphrodisiac & restorative properties of a novel Ayurvedic formulation in the management of male sexual disorders such as loss of libido, erectile weakness & performance issues. The goal was to scientifically assess improvements in sexual health, hormonal balance & overall vitality, using a traditional herbal blend rooted in Ayurvedic principles.

Methodology:

A randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted with 50 male participants aged between 21 & 50 years, all presenting with symptoms of decreased sexual desire & unsatisfactory sexual performance.

Participants were divided into two groups:

• Test Group (25 subjects): Received the Ayurvedic formulation containing standardized herbal extracts including Sida cordifolia & Glycyrrhiza glabra (known in Ayurveda for their rejuvenating & aphrodisiac effects).
• Placebo Group (25 subjects): Received identical-looking placebo capsules.

The study duration was 60 days. Clinical parameters were evaluated before & after the treatment period, including:

• Sexual desire & satisfaction levels
• Erectile strength & ejaculation timing
• Serum testosterone levels
• Semen count, motility & morphology
• Liver & kidney function (for safety assessment)

Statistical analysis was performed to compare baseline & post-treatment results between both groups.

Results:

The test formulation demonstrated significant improvement across key parameters compared to the placebo group:

• Testosterone levels increased by approximately 10.36%.
• Semen count & motility showed measurable enhancement.
• Libido & satisfaction scores improved significantly, as reported through patient questionnaires.
• No adverse or toxic effects were observed on liver or kidney function, indicating high safety & tolerability.

Participants also reported better physical energy, reduced fatigue & improved confidence during sexual activity.

Conclusion:

The researchers concluded that the Ayurvedic formulation possesses clinically validated aphrodisiac & revitalizing effects, aligning with traditional Ayurvedic use for improving male reproductive health, stamina & vitality.

The findings reinforce the therapeutic potential of Ayurvedic herbs like Sida cordifolia & Glycyrrhiza glabra as natural, safe & effective alternatives to synthetic options for enhancing male sexual wellness.
