Medohara guggulu 2----0----2 for 90 days. 7. Gandharvahastadi kashayam 20ml—0-----20ml(during udwartahna days) Take care. Kind regards.
Understanding weight gain from an Ayurvedic perspective starts with recognizing how your body and mind interact with food and lifestyle. Weight gain, like yours, often involves a kapha dosha imbalance, which can lead to sluggish metabolism and difficulty shedding excess weight. Here’s how you can begin to address these issues:
First, it’s essential to wake up early, ideally around sunrise. Kapha time is heavy and sluggish, so engaging in a stimulating morning routine helps to counterbalance this. Start with a glass of warm water infused with a slice of lime to ignite your digestion.
In terms of diet, consider reducing heavy kapha-increasing foods like dairy, fatty foods, and excess sweets. Instead, incorporate light, warming and dry foods to stimulate your digestion. Focus on incorporating more spicy, bitter, and astringent tastes such as turmeric, ginger, and leafy greens. These add heat and induce a natural cleansing process.
It’s essential to stick to regular meal times to maintain the balance of your agni, or digestive fire. Eating your largest meal around noon when your digestive fire is at its peak is advisable; keep dinner light and consume at least two hours before sleep.
For physical activity, introduce invigorating exercises like brisk walking, jogging, or yoga. Surya Namaskar is particularly effective as it harmonizes your entire system. Aim for at least 30 minutes of activity daily, as movement fundamentally aids in managing kapha.
Herbs may also assist. Consider the use of Triphala, a traditional Ayurvedic remedy, to support digestion and elimination. A teaspoon of Triphala powder taken with warm water before bedtime can help maintain the digestive tract.
Pay attention to sleep patterns, too – aim for 7-8 hours, and avoid napping during the day to prevent kapha accumulation.
Remember to listen to your body’s signals, adjusting your habits accordingly. If weight reduction remains challenging, professional Ayurvedic consultation might offer a personalized assessment, ensuring all health factors are considered. In serious instances, seek medical advice alongside your Ayurvedic practices to ensure comprehensive care is provided.
