Which Ayurvedic medicine is best for weight gain and muscle strength? - #13671
I’ve always been underweight, and despite eating well, I struggle to gain healthy weight. I’m 27 years old, 5’7”, and weigh around 50 kg. My digestion is weak, and I often feel low on energy. I don’t want to take artificial supplements, so I started looking into Ayurveda for a natural solution. Now, I’m trying to figure out which Ayurvedic medicine is best for weight gain and helps in building strength without causing side effects. From what I’ve read, Ayurveda focuses on improving digestion (Agni), balancing Vata dosha, and strengthening the body using herbs like Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Vidarikand, and Yashtimadhu. Some commonly recommended Ayurvedic formulations for weight gain include Chyawanprash, Ashwagandha Lehyam, and Shatavari Kalpa. Has anyone successfully gained weight using Ayurvedic medicines? Which Ayurvedic medicine is best for weight gain in terms of effectiveness and long-term results? Do these remedies help in gaining muscle mass, or do they just increase body fat? Another concern—how long does it take to see results with Ayurveda? Should I follow a specific routine, diet, or exercise plan along with these medicines? If anyone has successfully gained weight using Ayurveda, I’d love to hear about your experience!
