Your symptoms point toward Vata dominance with low metabolic strength (Dhatukshaya + Vishamagni) Cannot gain weight despite good appetite → poor tissue nourishment Feeling cold + low energy → Vata aggravation Sleepy, poor focus → weak Ojas and mental fatigue Hair loss → tissue depletion Herbal support Ashwagandha – best for weight gain, strength, energy Shatavari – nourishes body tissues Vidarikand – promotes healthy weight gain Brahmi – improves concentration & mental clarity Diet Increase snigdha (nourishing) foods: milk, ghee, dates, soaked almonds Warm, freshly cooked meals (avoid cold/dry food) Add milk + ashwagandha at night Lifestyle Daily oil massage (abhyanga) with sesame oil Proper sleep routine Gentle exercise/yoga
