Hello Rajesh, Thank you for sharing your detailed health background.I can understand your concern regarding gut balance and regaining healthy weight without disturbing metabolism again but dont worry we are here to help you out😊
✅ ABOUT CCF WATER (Cumin + Coriander + Fennel)
Yes, CCF water is excellent for gut health — -Improves digestion and reduces bloating (deepana & pachana action). -Clears ama (toxins) from gut channels. -Relieves heaviness and supports mild liver detox.
However, CCF water is mildly lekhan (scraping) in nature, meaning it helps maintain weight rather than increase it. If you are underweight or have low appetite, daily use of CCF water in the morning may slightly reduce your weight further if taken in large amounts or for long durations.
✅ How You Can Modify It for Your Goal (Gut + Weight Gain)
To make it gut-strengthening and mildly nourishing instead of detoxifying- 👉Modified CCF drink recipe -
Cumin seeds – ½ tsp Fennel seeds – ½ tsp Coriander seeds – ¼ tsp Add a pinch of ajwain (carom seeds) and ¼ tsp ghee or ½ tsp jaggery once the water cools a little.
- Boil in 2 cups water- reduce to 1 cup - drink lukewarm, after food (not empty stomach). - This way it enhances digestion without over-drying your tissues.
Once daily for 1–2 months, then alternate days.
✅AYURVEDIC INTERNAL MEDICATION
1. Chyawanprash Avaleha – 1 tsp morning on empty stomach with warm milk. 2. Ashwagandha Lehyam – 1 tsp with warm milk at night. 3. Drakaristha 30ml-0-30ml after food
👉 Takra (buttermilk) with roasted cumin + rock salt after lunch – enhances Agni and absorption.
✅DIET AND LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION
✅Include:
Cow ghee, dates, soaked almonds, raisins, moong dal khichdi, red rice, milk, banana, avocados, sesame seeds. Use digestive spices like cumin, fennel, ajwain, and ginger in food. Drink warm water, avoid cold beverages.
❌Avoid-
Skipping meals, long fasting, excess tea/coffee, and spicy or oily junk food.
Lifestyle Early bedtime, 7–8 hrs sleep. Light yoga and pranayama (especially Vata-pacifying ones like Anulom-Vilom and Bhramari). Gentle oil massage (abhyanga with sesame oil) 3–4 times/week.
Continue your balanced, home-cooked diet. Avoid over-detoxifying drinks or fasting — your goal is now nourishment and balance, not cleansing.
You are already on the right path, Rajesh With a few modifications, your gut and body strength will soon return to harmony.
Warm regards, Dr Snehal Vidhate

🧪 CCF Water: Gut-Healing, Not Weight-Loss Focused CCF = Cumin + Coriander + Fennel seeds
✅ Benefits: - Improves digestion and metabolism - Reduces bloating and gas - Supports liver detox and bile flow - Enhances nutrient absorption
❌ Misconception: - While CCF water may support weight loss in high-Pitta or Kapha types with sluggish digestion, it does not cause weight loss in Vata-dominant or underweight individuals. - For you, it will help regulate digestion, which is essential for nutrient assimilation and healthy weight gain
✅ Recommendation: - Yes, you can drink CCF water daily on an empty stomach. - Use ½ tsp of each seed, boil in 2 cups water, reduce to 1 cup, strain and sip warm.

It’s good to hear you’re considering holistic approaches for your gut health. CCF water (Cumin, Coriander, Fennel) can indeed be a beneficial addition to your routine. Cumin helps stimulate digestive enzymes, coriander has cooling and anti-inflammatory properties, while fennel aids in reducing bloating and indigestion. Together, they can support digestive health without directly affecting weight gain.
However, weight gain might be a bit more complex in Ayurveda terms. Since you’ve experienced substantial weight loss, the focus should be on balancing your doshas, strengthening your agni (digestive fire), and nourishing your dhatus (tissues). If you feel lighter, perhaps your vata dosha could be slightly elevated, which could cause digestive irregularities and difficulty in gaining weight.
To gain weight healthily, consider incorporating nutrient-dense foods like whole grains (quinoa, oats), healthy fats (ghee, nuts), and protein-rich foods (paneer, lentils). Also, consider drinking a glass of warm milk with a pinch of turmeric and ashwagandha at night to build ojas, which boosts immunity and vitality.
While CCF water can assist with digestion, it’s not a direct solution for weight gain. It’s okay to have it in your morning routine; just ensure it doesn’t make you feel too light or airy. If you notice increased vata symptoms (dry skin, anxiety, constipation), balance it with grounding and warming foods.
Make sure to maintain regular meals, and consider practices like yoga or light weight-training to support muscle development. If you continue to face issues, consult with an Ayurvedic professional who can evaluate your specific dosha balance and tailor a regimen for you. Keep in mind, abrupt changes aren’t advisable, so introduce these gradually.
Start with Tablet Liv-52 1-0-1 after food with water Chyavanprash 2tsp once daily before breakfast with milk Avipattikar tablet 1-0-1 after food with water Continue CCF Water as before. Have buttermilk with pinch of asafoetida black salt and roasted jeera powder after lunch daily Do brisk walking atleast 30 mins daily.
Thank you for explaining your history, so clearly Rajesh. It is great that you have brought your chloride and fatty liver under control CCF water is excellent for improving your gut health. It reduces gas, bloating and support liver detox. However, it is more balancing and medley cleansing not weight gain. It improves direction but also prevent heaviness and fat accumulation so if your goal is to gain weight, drink, it only warm after breakfast or after meals, not on an empty stomach Taking it first thing in the morning, my father like an year system, which can hinder weight gain
Toil, healthy weight, focus on strengthening Agni and nourishing tissues have warm cooked oily foods with rice, moong dal, milk and nuts Take ashwagandha Lehya 1 teaspoon with warm milk
