Hello Renika ji, At 38 years of age, you are sincerely maintaining a clean diet, exercising, and using Ayurvedic drinks with Triphala for weight loss. Still, you are experiencing low energy, fatigue, and lack of activeness.but dont worry we are here to help you out😊
✅WHY THIS IS HAPPENING?
1. Over-restriction in diet, excess Triphala, and too much exercise can drain ojas (vital energy). 2. Nutritional depletion – Eating “clean” but not balanced (less protein, iron, or healthy fats). 3. Agni (digestive fire) weakness – Too much detoxifying herbs (Triphala daily in higher doses) can reduce absorption. 4. Over-exercising without recovery – Creates energy loss instead of strength.
✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION
1 Ashwagandha Churna – 1 tsp with warm milk at night (boosts energy & strength).
2 Shatavari Kalpa 1 tsp morning with warm milk – balances Pitta, improves vitality in women.
3 Chyawanprash – 1 tsp daily in morning (rebuilds ojas).
4 Triphala – continue, but only ½ tsp at night (not high doses).
✅ DIET AND NUTRITION
Add protein- moong dal, paneer, sprouts, soaked almonds, sesame seeds.
Include good fats- ghee (1–2 tsp daily), flaxseeds, coconut.
Prefer warm, freshly cooked meals instead of raw salads at night (raw worsens Vata, reduces energy).
Drink jeera–ajwain–saunf water instead of only weight-loss teas.
✅LIFESTYLE AND EXERCISE
Do moderate exercise: walking, yoga, light strength training. Avoid overexertion.
Prioritize sleep (7–8 hrs).
Daily Abhyanga (warm sesame oil massage) strengthens muscles, reduces fatigue.
Yoga: Setubandhasana, Vajrasana improve digestion & energy.
Pranayama: Bhramari and Anulom Vilom for mental & physical recharge.
✅HOME REMEDIES
1. Morning drink— Warm water + 1 tsp honey + pinch cinnamon (energizing.) 2. Midday booster—Buttermilk with roasted jeera & rock salt. 3. Night: Golden milk (haldi + warm milk + pinch nutmeg) deep rest.
Your fatigue is due to excess detox + lack of nourishment.
weight loss should not deplete energy — it should balance Agni and preserve Ojas.
By adding nourishing Rasayanas (Ashwagandha, Chyawanprash), good proteins & fats, and moderate exercise, your energy will improve while still losing weight gradually.
Wish you a good health😊

Feeling low energy despite maintaining a clean diet and regular exercise regime can be linked to several factors from an Ayurvedic perspective. Ayurveda emphasizes balance and that even healthy practices can, at times, affect the body differently depending on your unique constitution or dosha. Here’s a few areas we can consider:
Firstly, let’s assess your diet. Eating “clean” is a broad term. While it’s important to eat wholesome foods, each individual has distinct dietary needs. For instance, if your diet is too restrictive or lacking in certain proportions of macronutrients, it can lead to fatigue. Ayurveda speaks to the importance of a balanced intake that correlates with your dosha—Vata, Pitta or Kapha.
Let’s take a look at your Agni (digestive fire). A weak or irregular agni can hinder your body from properly absorbing nutrients, leading to fatigue. Consider trying herbal aids such as ginger tea before meals, which can help kindle your digestive fire. Avoid cold foods and drinks as they may dampen your agni.
Also, exercise should be compatible with your constitution. A Vata dosha, which is sensitive and can easily become unbalanced by excessive movement, can be exhausted by strenuous exercise. Consider switching to more calming activities like yoga or walking, balancing exertion with relaxation.
Triphala is excellent for detoxification and aiding digestion, but if you’re experiencing chronic fatigue, it might not address the root cause. It’s crucial to ensure that Triphala isn’t causing excessive depletion, especially if you’re a Vata type, as its drying nature could aggravate Vata dosha.
Lastly, ensure that you’re adequately hydrated and rested. Improper sleep hygiene and dehydration are common reasons for low energy levels. Consume warm herbal teas like ashwagandha or brahmi in the evenings to calm your system.
If after these adjustments you still feel persistent fatigue, a detailed consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner would be beneficial. They can offer personalized insights taking your full Prakriti and lifestyle into account. Make sure there’s no underlying medical condition involved that might require attention beyond ayurveda. Consider getting a basic health check-up to rule out deficiencies or imbalances.
