HELLO JALPA,

you could benefit from losing 7-10 kg to reach a healthy weight range focusing especially on reducing visceral(belly) fat.

EFFECTIVE EXERCISES FOR BELLY FAT focus on combining cardio, strength, and core exercises.

CARDIO(daily for 30-45 mins) -Brisk walking/jogging - cycling -jump rope - dancing or aerobics these help burn fat all over, including the belly.

CORE- TARGETED WORKOUTS(3-5 TIMES/WEEK) -plank = 3 sets of 30-60 sec - Russian twists= 3 sets of 20 reps - Leg raises -Mountainclimbers -Suryanamskar= 8 rounds daily

YOGA ASANAS -bhujangasana -pawanmuktasana -naukasana -dhanurasana

This diet is kapha reducing, which means it helps reduce excess body fat, improves metabolism, and minimise water retention and heaviness- especially around belly.

1) GRAINS(choose light, low glycemic) -old rice, barley, millets- bajra, ragi, jowar, quinoa, whole wheat

AVOID= white rice, maida, processed breads or bakery items, heavy or sticky grains like oats

2) PULSES AND LEGUMES -moong dal= easy to digest , light -massor dal -hoarse gram= very good for reducing fat(kulthi) -chickpeas- chana roasted or boiled

AVOID= rajma, chole, urad dal- they are heavy and produce gas if digestion is weak, overcooked or creamy dals

3) VEGETABLES -leafy grreen= spinach, methi, coriander, curry leaves -lauki, tinda, karela, pumpkin -cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, carrot, beans -drumsticks, snake gourd - radish-especially good for belly fat

AVOID= potato, sweet potato , arbi, -tomatoes in excess -excess onion garlic at night

COOKING- steam or light saute vegetables with mustard seeds, cumin, ginger, and turmeric in minimal oil

4) FRUITS -apples, pear -papaya= excellent for digestion -pomegranate -guava, watermelon= take in morning only -seasonal berries -amla- raw or juice

AVOID= banana, mangoes, grapes, chikos, any fruits after sunset, fruit juices= high sugar

5) DAIRY PRODUCTS -buttermilk=diluted curd, churned, spiced with roasted cumin,ajwain - low fat curd- only in daytime - cow’s milk-if needed boiled with turmeric or ginger

AVOID= cold milk, panner, cheese, khoya, full cream milk, curd at night

6) FATS AND OILS -cows ghee- small quantity, helps in fat metabolism -cold pressed mustard oiler sesame oil

AVOID -refined oils, deep fired food

7) SPICES AND HERBS these helps stimulate digestion, improves metabolism and reduce bloating -ginger, cumin, ajwain, black pepper, turmeric, cinnamon, fenugreek, asafoetida

use these in cooking or as herbal teas- cumin-fennel-coriander decoction after meals

8) BEVERAGES -warm water throughout the day - herbal teas -jeera water

AVOID= cold water, aerated drinks, packaged fruit juices, sweet lassi or milkshakes

9) SNACKS-light dry and non sugary - roasted makahna, roasted chana, dry fruits in moderation -chia seed water -sprouts= moong, chana with lemon, no salt

AVOID -buiscuits, chips, namkeen, bakery items, sugar bars or energy drinks

HOW TO EAT -eat only when hungry- no emotional or boredom eating - eat in calm, mindful environment - avoid overeating, even healthy foods - use warm, cooked meals, over raw/cold food -obseve mitahara- balanced, moderate, quantity of food - intermittent fasting- 14-16 hours overnight is safe and recommended

MEDICATIONS ADVISED FOR WEIGHT LOSS AND BELLY FAT

PHASE 1- DETOX AND METABOLISM duration= for week 1-4

1) TRIPHALA CHURNA- 1/2 tsp with warm water at bedtime =improves gut health, reduces fat absorption, prevents constipation

2) TRIKATU CHURNA- 1/2 tsp with honey 15 minutes before meals twice daily = burns toxins, stimulates fat metabolism

3) WARM LEMON-HONEY WATER -juice of 1/2 lemon+ 1 tsp honey in 1 glass warm water =first thing in the morning on an empty stomach

PHASE 2= FAT BURNING AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT duration= week 5-12

4) MEDOHARA GUGGULU- 2 tabs twice daily after meals with warm water =reduces kapha and meda dhatu- fat tissues, helps in belly fat loss

5) PUNARNAVA MANDUR-FOR WATER RETENTION AND LIVER METABOLISM = 2 Tabs after lunch and dinner =imporves metabolism , supports kidney, liver detoc and reduces bloating

6) VRIKSHAMLA CAPSULES- 1 cap 30 minutes before meals twice daily =reduces appetite, inhibits fat storage

MONITOR WEIGHT EVERY 2 WEEKS TRACK DIGESTION AND ENERGY LEVELS STAY HYDRATED

hello jalpa,

At 21, your body is supposed to feel light, active, and confident but when your belly feels big, bloated, tight like you’re pregnant, and painful at times, it’s a sign that something is stuck or out of balance inside. This isn’t just about fat or weight gain in Ayurveda, we see this as a combination of weak digestion (Mandagni), toxin build-up (Ama), and possible hormonal imbalance, especially if you’re also facing irregular periods, PCOD, or cravings.

Many girls today feel embarrassed by belly size and try to control it with dieting or hard workouts but if your digestion is not working well and your hormones are not in sync, no matter how much you try, the belly won’t go down.

What you need now is not pressure but a simple daily rhythm to reset your metabolism, reduce internal heat and gas, and support your hormones gently. Ayurveda gives long-term relief because it works on why the belly is swelling not just how it looks.

Internal Medicines (6–8 weeks): Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp with warm water at bedtime (for gas, bloating, constipation) Punarnavadi Kashayam – 15 ml with 45 ml warm water before meals, twice daily Triphala Guggulu – 2 tablets after meals, twice daily (helps reduce stubborn fat and bloating) Lohasava – 15 ml + 15 ml warm water after meals (only if there is weakness or heavy periods) Simple Home Tips: Start your day with 1 tsp cow ghee + pinch of ginger powder in warm water Boil jeera, ajwain, and saunf (1 tsp each) in 3 cups of water, reduce to 1 cup, sip during the day Soak 1 tsp methi seeds overnight and chew them in the morning

What to Eat:

Yes foods:

Warm home-cooked food Red rice, moong dal, lauki (bottle gourd), pumpkin, beetroot A few soaked almonds, raisins every morning 1 tsp cow ghee in lunch daily

No foods (strictly avoid):

Bakery food, maida, white bread Cold water, cold drinks, curd, sugar Late-night dinner and daytime naps Raw salads and fruits at night

Movement & Breath:

Do simple yoga every day for 20 minutes:

Pawanmuktasana, Naukasana, Bhujangasana Kapalabhati – 5 minutes in the morning (if you don’t have period that day) Agnisara – rub belly and pump belly in and out 10 times, before bath

Check These (Only if needed):

Pelvic Ultrasound (to rule out PCOD) HbA1c (to check sugar) TSH (thyroid) CRP (if inflammation is suspected)

I know this is making you feel helpless or embarrassed. But you’re not the problem your body is simply calling for a reset. Once digestion, hormones, and sleep fall back in rhythm, the bloated belly, cravings, and mood will all settle. This is 100% possible with a regular lifestyle and gentle Ayurvedic help. You’re still young, so your body will respond fast just give it care, not criticism.

If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, Regards, Dr. Karthika

Addressing belly fat and associated discomfort requires understanding the root causes through an Ayurvedic lens, often related to imbalances in the Vata and Kapha doshas. When it comes to bloating and belly discomfort, it could also point to weak or irregular digestive fire, or ‘Agni’. Here’s some tailored advice to help you manage these issues.

For digestive relief, consider incorporating Trikatu into your routine, a combination of black pepper, long pepper, and ginger. Take about half a teaspoon with a warm glass of water prior to meals. This protocol can help stimulate your Agni and improve digestion, reducing bloating sensation.

Dietary adjustments can also play a crucial role. Prioritize warm, cooked foods like soups and stews. These are gentle on your digestive system and help reduce Kapha buildup contributing to belly fat. Avoid cold and raw foods that can dampen your Agni. Minimize your intake of heavy, oily, and processed foods which can exacerbate bloating and weight issues.

In terms of lifestyle, develop a routine to wake up early and sleep early as well, aligning your body’s natural rhythms with the sun. Aim for moderate exercise — a brisk walk or light yoga practice can help balance Kapha without causing strain.

Stress also makes digestion a bit worse, so include practices like deep breathing or meditation. Bhastrika pranayama, done daily for 5 to 10 minutes in the morning, can help invigorate Agni and reduce heaviness in the body.

If these changes don’t lead to improvements, it would be important seek consultation from an Ayurvedic practitioner near you. They might perform a detailed pulse diagnosis and provide a personalized treatment plan, possibly involving Panchakarma or herbal formulations, to address more deep-seated imbalances.

Excess belly fat and discomfort can often indicate an imbalance in your dosha, possibly an aggravation of the Kapha dosha along with vitiated Vata, which can lead to digestive issues. You might also be dealing with weak Agni, or digestive fire, that can result in poor metabolism. Here’s a Siddha-Ayurvedic approach to consider.

First, focus on your diet. Introduce more warm, cooked foods and reduce intake of cold, heavy, and oily foods that might increase Kapha. Opt for light, dry, and spicy foods that balance both Kapha and Vata, like ginger, turmeric, cumin, and black pepper. Try to have meals at regular intervals to maintain digestive rhythm. Eating fresh meals, not leftovers, can also bolster Agni.

Engage in daily physical exercise, focusing on activities that invoke warmth and movement. Even a brisk 30-minute walk can support metabolic processes. Yoga, particularly postures like Surya Namaskar, can be beneficial by stimulating internal organs.

Hydration is key, but avoid cold drinks. Instead, sip warm water throughout the day to help flush toxins. Triphala churna, taken before bed with warm water, might assist in maintaining regular bowel movements and detoxification.

Abdominal pain calls for attention. If it’s persistent, worsening or severe, you should seek medical care to rule out conditions like ulcers or other significant issues. Monitoring any other symptoms that accompany the pain, like changes in bowel movements, could be informative for healthcare providers.

Lastly, maintain an optimistic yet practical outlook. Sometimes, change is gradual and requires consistent effort. If concerns about your health continue to affect your well-being, a consultation with a healthcare provider is advised.

HELLO JALPA,

Thank you for your question.

Your symptoms -belly fat -abdominal pain -bloating(feels like pregnancy) -severe acne =could be linked to deeper imbalances

Based on your symptoms and age, this may be due to an imbalance in kapha and pitta doshas, along with possible Ama(toxins) accumulation in the gut.

LIKELY CAUSES -poor digestion - low agni or digestive fire -hormonal imbalance- linked to acne and belly fat -constipation or irregular bowel movement -high kapha- leads to weight gain, water retention -high pitta- leads to acne, inflammation

AYURVEDIC DETOX PLAN= follow for 21 days

MORNING (EMPTY STOMACH) -jeera ajwain saunf tea= 1 tsp each boiled in 2 cups water-> reduce to 1 cup, drink warm -1 tsp triphala power with warm water before bed daily= for digestion and cleansing

DIET PLAN(kapha pitta balancing)

AVOID -dairy, fried food, sugar, white rice, maida, cold drinks

EAT -warm, light meals like -mung dal khichdi with turmeric, cumin -steamed vegetables bitter and astringent like methi, lauki, karela -barley and millets instead of wheat rice

DRInk -warm water with lemon throughout the day

MEDICATIONS

1) Punarnava mandur= 1 tab twice daily after meals =reduces boating and water retention

2) MEDOHARA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =fat metabolizer

3) MANJISTHA + NEEM CAPSULES= 1 cap each twice daily in morning and night =excellent for acne and skin detoc

4) aloe vera juice= 15ml in morning empty stomach =gut cleansing + skin healing

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -daily yoga 20-30 min= focus on twisting poses, surya namaskar, kapalbhati -sleep= 7-8 hrs regular sleep- very important for hormones and skin -avoid afternoon naps - they increase kapha

If your bloating and pain feel exterme or persistent get checked for -PCOS -IBS -food intolerance like gluten or lactose

3 day Mini detox (quick start)

DAY 1-3 meals= mung dal khichdi + warm herbal teas -no snacks or sugar -add triphala at night -and aloe vera in morning

THANK YOU

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. Deepali Goswami
I am Dr. Deepali Goswami, BAMS graduate n working mainly around women's health. Right now m running my own clinic where i treat all kind of gyne problems—from irregular periods to PCOD, white discharge, fertility-related issues, menopausal symptoms n lot more that affects everyday life of females. I usually try to keep the language simple while dealing with patients cause honestly half of them come already confused or like really scared of what's happening inside their body... and if I use too much technical terms it just make it worse. I’ve been practicing in this space for couple of years now—don’t remember the exact month, maybe two or three year back? but anyway, what matters is I’ve seen how many of these problems get ignored till they turn serious. That’s something I feel strongly about. My goal is to help women understand their symptoms early and explain how Ayurveda can help gently but properly, whether it’s hormonal stuff or pain or cycle issues. I use classic Ayurvedic concepts like dosha analysis, ritucharya, n yoni vyapad chikitsa wherever it fits, but sometimes modern lifestyle really needs to be factored in too. Like if someone working night shift, no point telling them to wake up at 5am and do abhyanga daily—it won’t work. I’m practical about it. Anyway, I try my best to create a space where women feel heard. Lot of them said nobody actually explained them what’s going on before. And that’s like the saddest part. I feel my biggest strength is really just listening n tailoring the treatment to her routine, diet n stress pattern. Some cases are harder of course... things don’t always go fast, esp when it’s been neglected for yrs. But then Ayurveda’s not magic. It takes a little time—but results feel real n lasting when done right.

Dr. Isha Bhardwaj
I am someone who kinda learned early that medicine isn’t just about protocols or pills—like, it’s more about people, right? I did my BAMS with proper grounding in both classical Ayurveda and also the basics of modern med, which honestly helped me see both sides better. During internship, I got to work 6 months at Civil Hospital Sonipat—very clinical, very fast paced—and the other 6 at our own Ayurvedic hospital in the college. That mix showed me how blending traditional and integrative care isn't just theory, it actually works with real patients. After that I joined Kbir Wellness, an Ayurvedic aushdhalaya setup, where I dived into Naadi Pariksha—like really deep. It’s weird how much you can tell from pulse if you just listen right?? Doing regular consultations there sharpened my sense of prakriti, vikriti and how doshas show up subtle first. I used classical Ayurvedic texts to shape treatment plans, but always kept the patient’s routine, mental space and capacity in mind. Also I was part of some health camps around Karnal and Panipat—especially in govt schools and remote areas. That part really stays with me. You get to help ppl who dont usually have access to consistent care, and you start valuing simple awareness more than anything. I kinda think prevention should be a bigger focus in Ayurveda, like we keep talking about root cause but don’t always reach people before it gets worse. My whole method is pretty much built around that—root-cause treatment, yes, but also guiding patients on how to live with their body instead of fighting symptoms all the time. I rely a lot on traditional diagnostics like Naadi, but I mix that with practical therapies they can actually follow. No point in giving hard-to-do regimens if someone’s already overwhelmed. I keep it flexible. Most of my plans include dietary changes, natural formulations, lifestyle corrections and sometimes breathwork, daily rhythms and all that. I’m not here to just “treat illness”—what I really aim for is helping someone feel like they’ve got a handle on their own health again. That shift from just surviving to kinda thriving... that’s what I look for in every case.

Dr. Rajan soni
I am working in Ayurveda field from some time now, started out as a general physician at Chauhan Ayurveda Hospital in Noida. That place taught me a lot—how to handle different types of patients in OPD, those daily cases like fever, digestion issues, body pain... but also chronic stuff which keeps coming back. After that I moved to Instant Aushadhalya—an online Ayurveda hospital setup. Whole different space. Consultations online ain’t easy at first—no pulse reading, no direct Nadi check—but you learn to ask the right things, look at patient’s tone, habit patterns, timing of symptoms... and yeah it actually works, sometimes even better than in person. Right now I’m working as an Ayurveda consultant at Digvijayam Clinic where I’m focusing more on individualised care. Most ppl come here with stress-related problems, digestion issues, joint pain, that kind of mix. I go by classic diagnosis principles like prakriti analysis, dosha imbalance and all, but also mix in what I learned from modern side—like understanding their lifestyle triggers, screen time, sleep cycles, food gaps n stress patterns. I don’t rush into panchakarma or heavy medicines unless it’s needed... prefer starting with simple herbs, diet change, basic daily routine correction. If things demand, then I go stepwise into Shodhan therapies. My goal is to not just “treat” but to help ppl know what’s happening in their body and why its reacting like that. That awareness kinda becomes half the cure already. Not everything is perfect. Sometimes ppl don’t follow what you say, sometimes results are slow, and yeah that gets to you. But this path feels honest. It’s slow, grounded, and meaningful.

Dr. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with over 28 years of clinical experience dedicated to the principles and practice of authentic Ayurvedic medicine. Throughout my journey, I have had the privilege of treating more than 100,000 patients through both in-person consultations and online platforms. My approach is deeply rooted in classical Ayurvedic diagnostics—such as Nadi Pariksha (pulse examination), Roga-Rogi Pariksha (patient and disease evaluation), and a personalized assessment of prakriti (body constitution). Over the years, I have successfully managed a wide range of health conditions across all age groups—from acute infections and digestive issues to chronic and lifestyle disorders such as arthritis, diabetes, respiratory ailments, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune conditions. I place strong emphasis on individualized care, combining herbal formulations, Panchakarma detox therapies, and dietary and lifestyle guidance to ensure long-term healing and disease prevention. My extensive experience also includes addressing complex, chronic illnesses that require a deep understanding of both the pathology and the patient’s overall constitution. I have worked with patients who had previously struggled with little success in other systems of medicine, and have guided many toward sustainable recovery and improved quality of life. Whether treating elderly patients with degenerative disorders or young adults facing hormonal or metabolic challenges, I strive to offer care that is compassionate, comprehensive, and evidence-informed. My goal is to empower patients with Ayurvedic wisdom so they can take an active role in their healing journey. I continue to remain updated with the evolving landscape of integrative health and value the importance of patient education, ethical practice, and consistent follow-up. For me, Ayurveda is not just a profession, but a lifelong commitment to restoring balance and promoting well-being, one patient at a time.

My core areas of focus include hair disorders, skin diseases, and lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, arthritis, and stress-related imbalances. Over the years, I have developed a patient-centric approach that emphasizes deep-rooted healing through authentic Ayurvedic principles. My treatment philosophy is based on understanding the unique constitution (prakriti) and imbalance (vikriti) of each patient, allowing me to craft individualized care plans using classical formulations, diet corrections, detox therapies (shodhana), and lifestyle modifications. Whether it’s persistent hair fall, recurring skin allergies, or long-term metabolic disorders, I aim to address the root cause rather than just suppress symptoms. In the management of lifestyle disorders like diabetes and arthritis, I integrate Ayurvedic medicines with structured dinacharya (daily routines) and ahar (dietary guidance), focusing on sustainable results and long-term wellness. I also work extensively with stress-related concerns, offering holistic strategies that incorporate mind-body practices, including meditation, herbal support, and counseling rooted in Ayurveda. With a strong foundation in traditional Ayurvedic texts and decades of hands-on experience, I remain committed to providing safe, natural, and effective healthcare solutions.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.
