Ayurvedic Sexology

Ayurveda has recognized the extreme importance of sex in Human Life. Ayurveda regards that, sex is extremely necessary for our Happy, Healthy Mental and physical life. Hence out of its Eightfold parts, Ayurveda has devoted one full, descriptive chapter on sexology. This chapter on sexology is called, 'Vajikarana'. The word Vajikarana is derived from combination of two Sanskrit words. Vaji + karana = Vajikarana. 'Vaji' in Sanskrit means Horse. 'karana' means 'to do' or 'to make'. Hence Vajikarana means to make oneself strong like a Horse in sex Life. The animal Horse is supposed to be the most powerful in sex. Hence symbol of a Horse is chosen in Ayurvedic Sexology").
