How Effective Is Ayurvedic Treatment for Weight Gain? Can It Help in Gaining Healthy Muscle Mass? - #13238
I have been struggling to gain weight and build muscle, and I want to explore Ayurvedic treatment for weight gain that focuses on improving digestion, increasing appetite, and enhancing metabolism. Ayurveda believes that people who are underweight often have a Vata imbalance, leading to weak digestion, poor nutrient absorption, and excessive stress. I have read that herbs like Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Vidarikand can help in increasing body mass naturally. I want to understand whether Ayurvedic treatments involve only herbal medicines or if they also include specific diets, massages, or therapies like Abhyanga (oil massage) and Swedana (steam therapy) to improve digestion and nutrient absorption. How long does it take for Ayurvedic treatments to show visible weight gain results, and are there any side effects? If anyone has tried Ayurveda for weight gain, please share your experience. Did it help in improving energy levels, digestion, and muscle strength? Also, did Ayurvedic doctors recommend any lifestyle modifications along with the treatment?
