How can I effectively use an ayurvedic weight gainer to help with my ongoing struggle with underweight issues?

Question

I am really struggling with being underweight, which has been so frustrating. I’ve tried a couple of supplements, but nothing seems to work right! Recently, someone suggested I look into an ayurvedic weight gainer, but I have no clue where to start or how it actually works. I mean, I've heard ayurvedic processes can be gentle and natural, but I’m also nervous about changes. Last month, my doctor told me I need to put on some healthy weight, but honestly, it feels impossible. Soooo, I did some research and I found a few products tagged as ayurvedic weight gainer but I'm like unsure if they’re legit or just another gimmick? I want to know what kinds of ingredients are typically in those ayurvedic weight gainers? Should I be looking at specific herbs or something? Also, how long does it usually take to see results from using an ayurvedic weight gainer. I mean I do want to gain weight, but I also dont wanna have any weird side effects! Like, a friend of mine tried one way of putting on weight but it made her feel bloated all the time, and that's def not what I want. Are there any like common issues people face with ayurvedic weight gainers? I'm just feeling very overwhelmed with it all right now. I really hope ayurvedic weight gainers will give me a healthier body and not just be a quick fix. So if anyone has any advice or experiences regarding ayurvedic weight gainers, I’d really appreciate it. I just need a little assurance and clearer info before diving into this. Thanks!!

I totally understand how frustrating and disheartening it can feel to struggle with low weight despite trying everything.
the Good news is, Ayurveda offers gentle, effective, and nourishing was to help you gain weight- without harmful side effects

According to Ayurveda being underweight is often linked to dominance of VATA dosha or weak digestion which means body isn't absorbing nutrients properly. so instead of just adding calories, we work on improving digestion and building tissues

YOUR 100% NATURAL AYURVEDIC WEIGHT GAIN PLAN

MORNING- (empty stomach)
Ashwagandha churna- 3gm with warm milk + 1 tsp ghee
medicated raisin water- Soak 10 raisin overnight , drink the water and eat raisin in morning

After breakfast- Shatavari Kalpa- 1 tsp with milk

Midday meal- homemade food with rice, ghee, dal, veggies, sweet made up of jaggery

after lunch - Drakshadi Leah- 1 tsp with water

evening- milk+4 dates+1tsp ghee

Dr. Ayush Varma · Answer

When considering Ayurvedic weight gainers, it's important to approach them with a good understanding of your body’s prakriti (constitution) and any possible dosha imbalances. Typically, these products include ingredients like Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Bala, and Amalaki, which are known for their nourishing and strengthening properties. Ashwagandha, for instance, helps in building muscle mass and Shatavari enhances vitality and energy.

Your concern about side effects is understandable. Generally, Ayurvedic formulations are gentle since they aim for balance, but everyone responds differently. It's critical to start with small doses and observe how your body reacts. Issues like bloating can sometimes occur if your agni (digestive fire) is weak. To mitigate this, make sure your digestive system is functioning well before adding weight gainers. Include spices like ginger and cumin in your diet to boost agni.

The effectiveness and time it takes to see results varies greatly. While some people notice changes within a few weeks, it could take a few months for others, as Ayurveda emphasizes gradual and sustainable changes. Patience and consistency are key here.

To acquire real changes, focus on an overall plan that includes dietary adjustments. Incorporate ghee and milk, nuts like almonds and walnuts, lentils, whole grains, and root vegetables into your daily meals. Regular meals that are nutritious and sattvic can do wonders alongside an Ayurvedic weight gainer.

Apart from nutrition, lifestyle factors play a significant role. Try yoga or light strength training to support your weight gain efforts. Quality sleep is also crucial, so prioritize restful sleep as it aids in natural body repair and muscle growth.

Always consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner who can guide you based on your specific constitution and needs. They can help ensure that you’re not just gaining weight, but also balancing your body system. Proceeding without professional input might lead to imbalance, which is what we want to avoid.
