Men's health often take a back seat when it comes to prevention and early detection. Researches have shown that compared to women, men are more likely to lead less healthy lifestyles. They find it hard to quit smoking and alcohol. Moreover, they put off their routine checkups more often and also delay in seeking professional medical assistance when symptoms of any health problem arise.

However, Ayurveda gives equal importance to men's health. Hindi equivalent of the term 'Men' is 'Purusha.' One can measure the significance given to men by Ayurveda by the fact that it treats Purusha as soul. As far as men's health is concerned, Ayurveda deals with causes, symptoms and herbal remedies for low libido, erectile dysfunction, male infertility, low sperm count and low quantity of semen . Ayurvedic diets, healthy life style and herbs can make men healthy and develop their resistance to fight off diseases.
