Which is the best Ayurvedic medicine for fat loss, and how does it help in sustainable weight reduction?

Question

I have been trying to lose weight naturally, but no matter how much I diet or exercise, the results are slow. I recently read about Ayurvedic medicine for fat loss, which claims to work by boosting metabolism, improving digestion, and reducing fat accumulation. But I want to understand how effective it is.

From what I read, Ayurveda considers stubborn fat a Kapha imbalance, which leads to slow metabolism and difficulty in breaking down stored fat. But how do Ayurvedic fat loss medicines like Triphala, Medohar Guggulu, and Punarnava help in fat metabolism, appetite control, and detoxification?

I also want to know whether Ayurvedic medicines for fat loss provide long-term weight reduction or if the weight returns after stopping them. Has anyone successfully lost weight using Ayurvedic medicine? What worked best for you, and how long did it take to see real changes?

Ayurveda treats stubborn weight gain by addressing Kapha imbalance, sluggish metabolism, and improper digestion. Herbal formulations like Medohar Guggulu help break down stored fat, Triphala improves digestion and detoxification, and Punarnava reduces water retention and bloating. These medicines work best when combined with a Kapha-balancing diet, regular exercise, and daily practices like dry brushing (Udvartana) to stimulate fat metabolism. Unlike quick fixes, Ayurvedic weight loss is gradual but sustainable, as it focuses on correcting the root cause rather than just shedding pounds temporarily. Many people notice changes within a few months, but consistency in lifestyle modifications is key to maintaining long-term results.
