How to gain weight in Ayurveda naturally and effectively? - #13668
I’ve always been underweight, and no matter how much I eat, I don’t seem to gain weight. I’m 26 years old, 5’8”, and my weight has been stuck at 50 kg for years. I feel weak, low on energy, and sometimes dizzy. I’ve tried increasing my calorie intake, but my digestion isn’t great, and I feel full too quickly. I recently started researching how to gain weight in Ayurveda, and I found that Ayurveda focuses on improving digestion (Agni), balancing Vata dosha, and strengthening the body with natural herbs and nutrient-rich foods. Some commonly recommended remedies include Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Vidarikand, and Chyawanprash. I also read that consuming ghee, milk, and dates daily can help with weight gain. Has anyone successfully followed an Ayurvedic approach to gaining weight? What herbs, foods, or treatments worked best for you? Also, how long does it take to see results with how to gain weight in Ayurveda? Another concern—do I need to follow a specific routine, like eating at certain times, doing oil massages, or practicing specific yoga poses for better weight gain results? If anyone has successfully gained weight using Ayurveda, I’d love to hear your experience!
