What is ojas? How to know have I losed/leaked it?
You would only leak/lose it you had a very poor diet.
Okay, I am (genuinely) not trying to be argumentative, but I am very curious. I eat a vegan diet, but not a poor diet at all (far better than most meat-eaters in the USA) and I exercise and do yoga regularly. According to Tibetan medicine am I more at risk to loose ojas than someone who is not vegan, but lives on KFC and cupcakes and doesn't exercise? (I won't be offended, genuinely curious).
Also curious. In traditional Chinese medicine there is an idea about frequency of ejaculation. I think, for example, a 20 year old shouldn't ejaculate more than once a day or two, a thirty year old maybe once every 7 or 10 days. (I'm might be wrong about the numbers, but that's the idea).
Is there anything comparable in Tibetan medicine? Would excess ejaculation eventually lead to ojas loss?
