To support healthy weight gain and address your low energy and hormonal imbalances, Ayurveda recommends a holistic approach focusing on nourishing foods, lifestyle changes, and herbs. Start by eating calorie-dense, grounding foods like whole grains, nuts, dairy (if tolerated), and healthy fats like ghee and coconut oil. Incorporate herbs such as Ashwagandha and Shatavari to promote muscle mass, hormonal balance, and vitality. It's important to eat smaller, frequent meals throughout the day and focus on rest, as adequate sleep is essential for energy and metabolism. For the upper body and bust, light weight training, yoga, and chest exercises can help build muscle and improve body shape. Additionally, massaging herbal oils like Brahmi oil on the chest may improve circulation. Regular stress management practices such as yoga and meditation will also help balance hormones, regulate your menstrual cycle, and support overall wellness.

Alright, let's dive straight in, 'cause I can feel how frustrating this situation must be for you. First, from an ayurvedic perspective, it sounds like you might have a Vata dosha imbalance given your description. Vata, when aggravated, can lead to weight loss and irregular cycles, among a few other things.
So, what to do? Let's first focus on revitalizing your agni, or digestive fire, which is key in processing nutrition efficiently. Begin your day with a warm ginger tea – just steep a few slices of fresh ginger in hot water, sip gingerly (no pun intended) before meals to kind of spark that digestive process, you know?
Focus on grounding, nourishing foods, like whole grains (think rice or quinoa), sweet potatoes, and seasonal, cooked veggies. Adding ghee to meals enhances nourishment – maybe a teaspoon on your rice or mixed veggies. Protein's another must; lentils, beans, nuts, organic dairy if it's within your dietary choices. Don't just throw these into your meals randomly; balance them out throughout the day.
Consider Ashwagandha, it’s an amazing adaptogen and a well-regarded rasayana (rejuvenative), a teaspoon with warm milk at night can be gentle on your system and help with vitality.
About that menstrual cycle – it's a real annoyance, right? Herbs like Shatavari could assist in regulating and nourishing the female reproductive system, aim for a dosage suggested by an Ayurvedic practitioner based on personal constitution.
When we talk about lifestyle, grounding practices like yoga or gentle walks can help channel energy and balance Vata. Set a regular sleep schedule, too. I know it can sound cliche, but seriously, our bodies need consistency. And hey, don't rush; sometimes the body just needs a bit of time and care to respond.
Remember to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare provider before starting any new regimen. Each of these steps needs patience, and hey, they're not dramatic transformations overnight, but they should help steer things in a healthful direction.
