Since you are underweight and have a busy schedule in Russia, gaining weight will require nutrient-dense foods and possibly some herbal supplements to support your metabolism.
Ashwagandha churna 1/2 tsp with warm milk at night
Chywanprash 1 tsp once daily

Gaining weight, especially in a healthy and sustained manner, involves a comprehensive approach in Ayurveda. Aiming to balance your doshas and boost your nutritional intake is key, particularly since you're living a vegetarian lifestyle.
First, let's focus on enhancing your digestion and metabolism, known as 'agni' in Ayurveda. Consider incorporating herbal supplements like Ashwagandha and Shatavari, as they're known to support weight gain by nourishing the tissues (dhatus) and strengthening overall vitality. Look for high-quality Ayurvedic formulations containing these herbs, and take them as advised on the packaging, preferably with warm milk morning and evening.
In your diet, aim to include more calorie-dense and nourishing foods. since you’re vegetarian, focus on incorporating ghee, nuts like almonds and walnuts, seeds like sesame and pumpkin, and avocados into your meals. These provide not only calories but also essential fatty acids. Prepare meals that are warm and fresh - and avoid cold or dry foods as these can aggravate Vata dosha, potentially causing weight loss or inability to gain. Add spices like ginger, cumin, and turmeric to your food to further enhance your agni.
Practicing regular yoga and gentle strength-building exercises can also help. This helps stimulate your appetite and ensures that the weight you gain is healthy and balanced. Consider practices like Surya Namaskar, and light weight lifting sessions a few times a week.
As for your busy schedule, try setting aside even small amounts of time throughout your day for these practices. Regular routine and meal timing support our body's natural rhythms and increase nutrient assimilation.
Make sure to stay mindful of your mental and emotional health too, as stress can have a significant impact on weight. Techniques like pranayama or meditation are valuable tools for maintaining mental balance.
Lastly, always ensure that supplements or herbal medications are taken under the guidance of a qualified practitioner, especially if you have other health conditions or are taking medications.
If after implementing these suggestions, there's no improvement in a reasonable timeframe, or if you experience symptoms like persistent fatigue, digestive issues, or other concerns, please consult a local healthcare professional to rule out underlying conditions.
