Men’s Reproductive Detox: How Ayurveda Can Help
Do you ever get an itch or foul smell down there that just keeps coming back? Are you over 40 and concerned about prostate problems? Do you find you lack motivation and sexual drive? If so, you may be in need of a men’s reproductive detox.
A men’s reproductive detox can spare you from the nasty symptoms described above from developing into chronic diseases and even the worst case scenario – cancer. Prostate cancer in particular is the second most common cancer diagnosed in men in Australia, with 1 in 7 men being diagnosed with it by the age of 85. To avoid going down that road, you must heed the warning signs your body may be sending you and address them as soon as possible. Thankfully, Ayurveda can help you do that.

Changes and Warning Signs
A man’s reproductive system is comprised of the penis, the testicles, the duct system and the accessory glands (which include the prostate gland). After the age of 40 and by the age of 50, these reproductive organs begin to change and, gradually, decline.
While men do not experience major, rapid changes like women at the same age, they still go through a phase that may be taxing on their on their mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.
Some of these changes include and may appear as:
- Erectile dysfunction
- Sclerosis of the testes and sperm tubes
- Decrease in testosterone
- Enlargement of the prostate gland as one ages
- Changes in urination
- Changes in sex drive, sexual response and intensity
- Lower sperm count
- Lower energy levels
These changes are perfectly normal and can be managed holistically with advice from an Ayurvedic practitioner. But there are additional warning signs that may indicate that something is wrong. Such symptoms may call for an immediate male reproductive system cleanse and include:
Urinary tract infections (UTI) and relevant symptoms (difficulty urinating, odour, pain, etc)- Chronic erectile dysfunction (before the age of 40)
- Jock itch
- Prostate enlargement that produces cyst(s)
- Lower back pain
- Lower abdominal pain
- Mental and emotional disorders (stress, depression, lack of motivation, low life force)
- Feeling sluggish mentally and physically
- Skin rash or warts on genitals (infection)
- Chronic digestive problems
- Low sexual drive when nothing else seems to be wrong

The aforementioned symptoms may only be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to men’s health. They not only signify an accumulation of toxicity and nutrient depravity, but they may also be trying to signal an underlying condition. Thankfully, the root cause can be found and successfully treated with a natural, holistic detox procedure. But how is this done?
In our Ayurvedic clinic, we have been successfully helping patients detox through Panchakarma for two decades. Panchakarma is a popular Ayurvedic rejuvenation experience that can be tailored for you only by a professional Ayurvedic practitioner. In the case of men’s detox, you may be treated externally or internally, depending on the underlying cause of your Ama (toxin) Accumulation. Common treatments for male reproductive system cleanse include:
- A colon detox (enema)
- An Ayurvedic herbal preparation (including detoxifying herbs such as Punarnawa, Manjistha and Gokshur).

Your detox experience, however, does not end at the Ayurvedic Clinic. Implementing self-care tips at home may be recommended but also necessary to ensure the optimal health of your reproductive system.
Our Ayurvedic practitioners recommend implementing the following men’s reproductive detox tips for 10 days (or long-term, if you wish so):
- Add aphrodisiacs to your diet. In Ayurveda, we understand that there is a deep correlation between a man’s reproductive system and his digestive system. Therefore, diet is essential to healing conditions related to the reproductive system. Asparagus is a well-known nutrient-packed digestive aid and aphrodisiac that can benefit your overall health. Ginseng is also proven to improve erectile function and relax the genital muscles, improving overall circulation and energy levels.
- Cut back on sugars, gluten, carbs and fat. You don’t want to add more inflammation to an already inflamed part of your body, do you? Sugar, particularly when mixed with carbohydrates and fat, is notorious for provoking inflammation and encouraging bacteria to grow out of control. Gluten similarly inflames the gut and disrupts proper digestion. Opt for healthier foods instead, like whole foods, cooked vegetables, lean meats and brown rice.
- Up your water intake. Drinking a glass of water at 6am in the morning is great for flushing out your kidneys and boosting your immunity and energy levels first thing in the morning. But drinking water throughout the day is also essential, particularly when dealing with an infection or inflammation. Aim for 10 cups (2.6 litres) per day, but make sure you consume any water an hour before your meals.
- Wash daily. The genital area is a hub for bacteria. Washing the area daily with a very mild non-fragrant soap, or even plain water, is often enough to keep the nasties at bay. If you work out or sweat often, make sure to wash immediately after or at least use a baby-wipe, even if you’ve already had a shower that day.
- Eat fruits, but skip the acidity. Add fruits to your diet, which are anti-inflammatory and packed with nutrients, but do avoid acidic fruits such as limes, lemons, oranges, and tangerines as they will only disrupt your pH balance.
- Try Yoga Therapy. You don’t have to be the ultra-flexible type to practise Yoga for health reasons. Some simple postures (asanas) and yogic breathing techniques (pranayamas) may be all you need to pump up your circulation, immunity and fertility functions. Recommended techniques include:
