I understand your concern regarding your daughter’s underweight condition. At the age of 8, it is essential to ensure that her digestive fire (Agni) is functioning optimally to absorb nutrients effectively, as poor digestion can often be the root cause of inadequate weight gain. Ayurveda suggests that an imbalance in the digestive system, particularly a weak Agni, may lead to improper assimilation of food, resulting in underweight despite eating well. To support her growth and weight gain, I recommend incorporating warm, easy-to-digest, and nourishing foods such as soups, stews, and whole grains like rice, oats, and quinoa, along with ghee (clarified butter), which strengthens Agni and promotes healthy tissue development. Including grounding, protein-rich foods like lentils, dairy, and nuts can further support healthy weight gain. You may also consider Ayurvedic herbs like Ashwagandha, which helps in building strength, promoting healthy weight, and improving digestion. Regular light massage with warm sesame oil can stimulate her metabolism and improve circulation. Additionally, ensuring she gets adequate rest and stays active through gentle play can also support healthy growth.
