Seeking Ayurvedic Remedies for Weight Management and Inflammation - #41081

Hello I completely understand your concern, and I appreciate that you’re taking steps toward your health after delivery. Weight gain with inflammation and post-workout swelling indicates an underlying imbalance of Kapha and Ama (toxins) along with sluggish Agni (digestive fire)

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1 Guggulutiktaka ghrita – 1 tsp twice daily before meals with warm water to reduce internal inflammation.

2 Medohara vati or Ayush 82 granules – for natural fat metabolism.

3 Punarnavadi guggulu – 1 tab twice daily after meals to reduce inflammation, water retention, and swelling.

4 Ayaskriti – 15 ml twice daily with equal water after meals to improve metabolism.

✅PANCHAKARMA THERAPY

-Udwartana (Herbal Dry Powder Massage) with Kolakulathadi churna – helps liquefy subcutaneous fat, reduce swelling, and tone the skin.

-Kashaya dhara or Takra dhara – effective in inflammatory conditions and heaviness.

-Virechana karma (therapeutic purgation) – to clear accumulated Pitta-Ama and improve metabolism.

✅ DIET MODIFICATION

✅ Include

Eat light, warm, freshly cooked food – khichdi, moong dal soup, vegetable soups, and millet porridge. Include spices like turmeric, cumin, ajwain, cinnamon, and black pepper. Add green leafy vegetables, bottle gourd, ridge gourd, bitter gourd, and drumstick. Use cow ghee in small quantity to balance Vata without increasing fat. Drink warm water infused with jeera-ajwain-methi seeds (1 tsp each) boiled in 1 litre water – sip through the day. Take herbal tea of Triphala + dry ginger + tulsi morning and evening. Avoid cold food, sugar, sweets, bakery products, curd, and excess salt. Avoid eating late at night or sleeping immediately after meals.

✅Lifestyle & Daily Routine

Practice early morning brisk walk or yoga for 30 min.

Pranayama – Kapalabhati, Anulom Vilom, and Bhastrika improve metabolism and reduce Kapha.

Do self-abhyanga (oil massage) with sesame oil before bath 3 times a week to improve circulation and calm inflammation.

Get adequate sleep (7 hrs) but avoid daytime naps.

Manage stress with meditation

✅HOME REMEDIES
