Hello Farjana, Some people who are especially Vata predominant personalities are thin in nature. But you can still gain weight in healthy manner. How is your appetite? Any digestive problems like diarrhoea, IBS or constipation? Any ongoing stress? Were you very sick? Do you suffer from worms regularly? Any relevant blood tests are done? All these parameters are necessary to understand why you aren’t gaining weight. Also what is your diet like & how is your sleep?

Your underweight condition and low energy levels may be due to a Vata imbalance, which can lead to difficulty gaining weight and feeling fatigued, especially if there is a hereditary tendency. Ayurveda recommends nourishing, grounding foods and herbs that build Ojas (vital energy) and strengthen the body. Ashwagandha and Shatavari are excellent herbs to promote healthy weight gain, energy, and vitality. Taking Ashwagandha churna with warm milk or ghee twice daily can help increase body mass and reduce fatigue. Adding Vidari Kand and Yashtimadhu to your routine may also aid in nourishing the body and improving muscle tone. Alongside these, a diet rich in whole grains, healthy fats, root vegetables, and proteins will be beneficial. Practicing Abhyanga (self-massage) with warm sesame or ashwagandha oil can help calm Vata and promote strength. It’s also essential to get enough rest and practice deep breathing or meditation to reduce stress, which can hinder weight gain.

Sounds like your body's running on empty a bit, huh? Being 32 with two kiddos is a lot of work, especially with low energy levels. It's great that you’re already focusing on eating healthy, but let's see if we can ramp it up a notch with some Ayurvedic insights. First, in Ayurveda, we’d look at everything from your prakriti (your natural constitution or body type) to imbalances in your doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. From what you describe, it’s possible you have a Vata imbalance, as Vata types can be naturally thin and experience fatigue when out of balance. Try incorporating more grounding, warm foods into your diet. Think root veggies like sweet potatoes, carrots, and beets—these are awesome and nourishing. Use healthy fats liberally like ghee and sesame oil, as they can help build dhatus (tissues) and stoke your agni (digestive fire). If you're up for it, a simple dish like kitchari could do wonders—it’s a nourishing mix of rice, lentils, and spices. Now onto some herbs. Ashwagandha is a renowned adaptogen in Ayurveda, known for helping with stress and boosting energy, which could assist in weight gain. Take it as a powder (half to one teaspoon) mixed with warm milk before bed. Another one to consider is Shatavari, which is excellent for supporting women's health post-pregnancy, and balancing Vata—it can help improve strength and endurance over time. Don’t overlook lifestyle changes too. Practice some Abhyanga, that’s self-massage with warm oil (try sesame or almond oil), several times a week. It's calming and helps with the absorption of nutrients. Remember, the goal is a balanced approach; anything too drastic might disrupt your body's equilibrium. And always, if anything feels off or if you're not seeing improvement, check with a healthcare provider. We wanna make sure there's nothing more underlying, especially with a family history of being thin. Keep on nurturing yourself—you deserve it!
