Hi Shaurya,
Thank you for sharing this information about your son. I understand that you're concerned about his body mass gain, and it's also important to take into account his past experiences with minor autism, which might have an impact on his nutritional needs and overall health.
1. What does your son’s typical diet look like on a daily basis? Can you list his main meals and snacks throughout the day?
2. Has he had any digestive issues like bloating, constipation, or discomfort after meals?
3. You mentioned that he had some minor autism-affected symptoms in the past. Could you share more about how these symptoms affected him? Are there any current challenges related to this?
4. Is he currently taking any medications or supplements for his health or growth? If so, what are they, and how long has he been using them?
With this information, I can suggest specific Ayurvedic remedies, diet changes, and lifestyle adjustments that would work best for him.

Abhyanga Massage
Abhyanga is one of the best ways to release muscle tension. It also nourishes tissues and relieves fatigue. Sesame oil or coconut oil are especially strengthening for the muscles and build a healthy foundation for them.

Namaste Shaurya Patel ji,
Your son’s good height indicates healthy growth, but if he is not gaining enough body mass, it suggests a need for improved digestion (Agni), nutrition absorption, and balanced nourishment. Since he had minor autism symptoms in the past, we will focus on wholesome, natural foods that support brain and body development.
For the next few months we will focus only on food and lifestyle modifications and will not start any medicines.
Give warm, nourishing, and easy-to-digest foods like homemade ghee, fresh butter, milk, dates, almonds, and soaked raisins.
Include protein-rich foods—moong dal, masoor dal, paneer, curd, and soaked nuts help muscle growth.
Healthy carbohydrates—add whole grains like wheat, ragi, and unpolished rice to support steady weight gain.
Vegetable and fruit balance—sweet-tasting fruits like bananas, mangoes, and chikus help in weight gain. Vegetables like carrots, beets, and pumpkin nourish the tissues.
Healthy fats are essential—use homemade ghee in roti/dal and coconut in curries to support brain and body nourishment.
Hydration matters—give warm milk with a little honey (avoid sugar) and encourage plenty of water to keep digestion strong.
Avoid junk and processed foods—they weaken digestion and create nutritional deficiencies.
Encourage outdoor activities—sports like swimming, cycling, or light yoga help develop muscles naturally.
Daily oil massage (Abhyanga)—a gentle full-body massage with warm sesame or almond oil before bath improves circulation, muscle tone, and relaxation.
Ensure good sleep—deep sleep by 9-10 PM is essential for growth and weight gain.
Avoid excessive screen time and stress, as they can affect digestion and metabolism.

Hello Mrs Patel,
Since your son has good height but lacks body mass, we need to assess his appetite, digestion, energy levels, and any underlying deficiencies. If he eats well but does not gain weight, weak digestion or poor absorption could be the issue. Including warm milk with Ashwagandha Lehyam (1-2 tsp) or Chyawanprash with plain wa ter in the morning can help improve strength and immunity. Adding ghee to meals, protein-rich foods like moong dal, paneer, almonds, and dates, and avoiding processed food will support healthy weight gain.
Ayurvedic medicines like Shatavari Kalpa and Draksharishta can help improve digestion and appetite. Encouraging outdoor activities, maintaining a proper sleep cycle, and staying hydrated will also aid in better growth. If he has digestive issues, food allergies, or recurring infections, addressing them first is essential.
A balanced diet, proper lifestyle, and Ayurvedic support will gradually improve his muscle mass and overall health. Let me know if there are any specific concerns for a more personalized approach.
