Which Ayurvedic Herbs Help with Weight Gain Naturally?

Question

I’ve always been underweight and struggle to put on even a few kilos. No matter how much I eat, my weight stays the same. A friend told me that Ayurvedic herbs for weight gain can help improve digestion, boost metabolism, and promote healthy muscle growth. But I’m not sure which ones actually work.

I’ve read that Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Vidari Kanda are some of the best Ayurvedic herbs for weight gain—but how do I take them? Should I have them with milk, or is there a specific way to consume them? Also, do these herbs just make you gain fat, or do they actually help build strength and stamina?

If anyone has successfully gained weight using Ayurvedic herbs for weight gain, please share what worked best for you!

Ayurvedic herbs like Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Vidari Kanda are great for promoting healthy weight gain by improving digestion, boosting muscle mass, and enhancing stamina.

Ashwagandha: Helps reduce stress and promotes muscle growth. It’s typically taken with warm milk before bedtime.
Shatavari: Supports digestion and hormone balance, often consumed as a powder mixed with milk or honey.
Vidari Kanda: Known for its rejuvenating properties, it’s usually taken as a powder or mixed into herbal tonics.
These herbs don’t just add fat—they help build muscle and improve overall vitality. To get the best results, pair them with a nutritious diet and strength-building exercises. If you’ve tried these, I’d love to hear what worked best for you!
