You’re right, Ayurveda looks at weight gain holistically, focusing on slow metabolism, digestion issues, and toxins (ama accumulation). It’s great you’re considering this approach. The tablets you’ve mentioned like Medohar Guggulu, Triphala Guggulu, Varanadi Kashayam, and Garcinia Cambogia (Vrikshamla) are well-known in Ayurvedic practice for addressing weight issues.
Medohar Guggulu, for instance, is a classic one. It’s known to balance kapha dosha, which is linked to excess fat and water retention. It helps in mobilizing stored fat, enhancing digestion and removing toxins. People often use it along with lifestyle changes for efficient results. Triphala Guggulu is another blend aimed at deeper detoxification, known to improve bowel movements and metabolism, helping with stubborn belly fat.
Varanadi Kashayam is a bit more targeted for issues related to sluggish digestion and slow metabolism. It’s usually recommended for those with a predominance of kapha dosha. Vrikshamla (Garcinia Cambogia) has gained popularity for its fat-blocking and appetite-suppressing properties. It’s said to work well in boosting energy and managing cravings.
When do you see results? Well, it varies, usually, folks notice changes after 6 to 8 weeks, but for some, it might take longer. Consistency with diet and lifestyle is key, though. These tablets work best when complemented by a balanced diet rich in veggies, whole grains, and regular exercise.
Don’t forget the little things make a big difference. Try eating your largest meal at midday – when digestion is at its strongest. Sip warm water or herbal teas throughout the day to keep digestion happy. Avoid eating too late at night, and keep stress in check, it impacts metabolism.
Remember, individual responses can vary, so it’s often best to consult with a local Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor recommendations to your specific needs. They’ll consider your dosha, current health, and lifestyle before starting any long-term regimen. Safety first!
