Ayurvedic Perspective on Appetite and Weight
In Ayurveda, the loss of appetite and inability to gain weight are often associated with an imbalance of the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Your symptoms most strongly suggest a Vata imbalance.
Vata Dosha governs movement, air, and space in the body. An excess of Vata can lead to dryness, lightheadedness, and a weak digestive fire (Agni). This can cause a person to feel less hungry or not have the desire to eat, and it can also hinder the body’s ability to absorb nutrients and gain weight.
The digestive fire (Agni) is considered crucial in Ayurveda. A weak Agni can lead to poor digestion and assimilation of food, which could explain why you are not gaining weight despite your attempts.
Ayurvedic Recommendations
The primary goal of an Ayurvedic treatment for your symptoms would be to balance Vata dosha and strengthen your Agni. Here are some general recommendations, but again, please consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized approach.
1. Dietary Adjustments
Eat warm, cooked, and nourishing foods: Focus on foods that are easy to digest and that pacify Vata. This includes soups, stews, grains like rice and wheat, and root vegetables.
Avoid cold, dry, and raw foods: These foods can increase Vata. Try to limit salads, raw vegetables, and cold beverages.
Use healthy fats: Ghee and olive oil can help to lubricate the body and balance Vata’s dryness. Incorporating these into your meals can be beneficial.
Eat at regular times: Establishing a routine for your meals can help to regulate your Agni. Try to eat your main meal at midday when the digestive fire is strongest.
2. Lifestyle Practices
Stress Management: High stress levels can disrupt Vata. Incorporating practices like meditation, deep breathing exercises (pranayama), and gentle yoga can be helpful.
Routine (Dinacharya): An irregular schedule can aggravate Vata. Try to wake up, eat, and sleep at the same time each day to create a sense of stability.
Abhyanga (Self-Massage): A daily self-massage with warm sesame oil can be very grounding and calming for the nervous system, helping to balance Vata.
3. Herbal Remedies
1) yavanishadava churna- 5gm before food with warm water 3 times
2) matulunga rasayan- 1 tsf before food with warm water 3 times 3) chitrakadi vati- 1 tab 1 hr before food with warm water

✔️Your main concerns are Loss of appetite / poor hunger Not feeling like eating or drinking Stagnant weight (50–52 kg) for 4–5 years despite ideal weight being 70+ kg
✅ Possible Causes 1. Weak Agni (digestive fire) – long-standing poor digestion reduces hunger. 2. Accumulated Ama (toxins) – bloating, heaviness, no urge to eat. 3. Stress, anxiety, overthinking – affect gut-brain connection, lowering appetite. 4. Irregular food timings, skipping meals, excess tea/coffee – disturb natural hunger cycles. 5. Poor nourishment of tissues (Dhatu Kshaya) – explains stagnant weight despite eating.
✅AYURVEDUC PLAN OF. TREATMENT
☑️IMPROVE APPETITE AND DIGESTION (Deepana-Pachana)
1 Chitrakadi Vati – 1-0-1 before meals, twice daily, to stimulate Agni.
2 Hingwashtak Churna – ½ tsp with warm water just before lunch to reduce gas and bloating.
👉Start meals with a small piece of fresh ginger + rock salt to kindle appetite.
☑️ NOURISHING AND WEIGHT GAIN (Brimhana)

Warm, freshly prepared meals: moong dal khichdi, ghee, milk, dates, soaked almonds, sweet fruits, jaggery. Energy-rich foods: paneer, rice, wheat, ghee, sesame seeds, nuts, banana shake. Herbal teas: cumin-fennel tea to ease digestion.
❌ Avoid Cold drinks, refrigerated foods, junk, excessive raw salads, tea/coffee in excess. Skipping meals or eating late at night.
✅ LIFESTYLE AND ROUTINE
Eat at fixed times daily to retrain hunger cycles. Practice light exercise or yoga (Surya Namaskar, brisk walk) – improves digestion and appetite naturally. Manage stress with deep breathing, meditation, Brahmari Pranayama. Sleep well (7–8 hrs), as growth and tissue nourishment happen best during rest.
Your issue is not eating less but not digesting and absorbing food properly. By strengthening digestion with Chitrakadi Vati, Hingwashtak Churna, ginger-salt before meals, and then adding Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Chyawanprash with a nourishing diet, you can improve appetite and gradually gain healthy weight.

hello dear ,
your body is not gaining weight because your digestion and appetite (“Agni” in Ayurveda) are weak. If the inner fire is low, even if you eat, the body cannot properly build strength and muscle. That’s why you don’t feel hungry, your weight is stuck around 50–52 kg, and you also don’t feel like eating or drinking much. First, we need to correct digestion and appetite, then slowly the body will start absorbing nutrition and weight will improve naturally.
A few things I want to know from you (in your words): Do you often feel acidity, gas, or bloating after food? How are your bowels – constipation, loose, or normal? How is your sleep – deep or disturbed? Any history of stress or anxiety affecting food intake?
Step-by-step Ayurvedic plan
1. First step – Ama Pachana & appetite correction (10–15 days): Chitrakadi Vati – 2 tablets twice daily before food with warm water. Jeerakadyarishta – 15 ml with equal warm water after food, twice daily.
2. Internal medicines for nourishment (start after 10–15 days, continue for 2–3 months):
Ashwagandha Churna – 3 g (½ tsp) with warm milk at night.
Shatavari Kalpa – 1 tsp with milk in the morning.
Draksharishta – 15 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner.
3. External support:
Abhyanga (oil massage) with Dhanwantharam Taila or sesame oil, 3–4 times/week before bath. Helps improve appetite, weight, and strength.
4. Food & lifestyle advice:
Eat small frequent meals rather than forcing large meals. Add ghee, soaked dry fruits, milk with dates, khichdi, and moong dal regularly. Avoid cold drinks, junk food, and skipping meals. Go for a morning walk in sunlight – it naturally improves appetite.
5. Investigations (to rule out hidden causes of low weight): CBC, ESR Thyroid profile LFT, KFT Vitamin B12, Vitamin D
With this plan, your digestion will first become stronger, hunger will return, and slowly your body will start building healthy weight.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika
Loss of appetite and inability to gain weight might be attributed to an imbalance in your digestive fire or Agni, possibly resulting from a dominance of Vata or a Kapha imbalance. First, it’s essential to address your agni by adopting practices that improve digestion and nutrient assimilation. An assessment of your lifestyle and dietary habits is critical as they often play a vital role in digestive health.
Start by incorporating warm, nourishing, easy-to-digest foods into your diet – things like soups, stews, and porridges can be beneficial. Spice up your cooking with ginger, cumin, and black pepper which can invigorate agni. Try drinking a small cup of warm water with ginger and lemon juice before meals, this can help stimulate appetite. Additionally, ghee added into meals can be balancing and nourishing for all doshas, especially for Vata.
Avoid cold drinks, raw or heavy foods immediately before or with meals, which can dampen Agni. Regular meal routines are essential. If feasible, eat at the same times daily to set a rhythm for your body’s digestive system.
Yoga and Pranayama can also be advantageous particularly practices like Surya Namaskar and Kapalbhati breathing as they help stimulate digestive processes and enhance appetite.
In Ayurveda, maintaining a good lifestyle routine, or dinacharya, is recommended. Waking up early, adopting oil massages with warm sesame oil before bath, and incorporating mild exercise are simple yet effective steps. Also, ensure you have adequate rest and manage stress, as mental well-being significantly influences digestion.
If these measures don’t help, consulting a local Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized support might be necessary, allowing for herbal formulations tailored directly to your constitution. Safety is critical, so should any severe symptoms arise or persist, seek the guidance of a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying condition.
At 21 with low appetite disinterest in food and drink and stagnant weight around 50 to 52 kgs. This clearly suggest low Agni ( digestive fire) and VATA imbalance. According to Ayurveda without proper food doesn’t get digested or observed well leading to poor nourishment of tissues and difficulty gaining weight. The following medicines will improve your digestion, appetite and nourish tissues Chitrakadi vati - 1 tab to be chewed twice daily Arivindasava-4 teaspoon with equal quantity of water twice daily after food Ashwagandha churna-1/2 tsp with warm milk at night CHYWANPRASH- 1 teaspoon twice daily Eat regular warm, Cook meals and ghee milk, Paneer soaked almonds, dates, raisins moong dal khichdi
