Ayurvedic Tonics for Weight Gain - #45468

Hello I​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ can understand your concern. At 38, when the weight is not going up even with protein intake, it is really annoying and worrisome. But dont worry we are here to guide you towards healthy weight gain😊.

✅ YOUR CONCERN & PROBABLE CAUSES

You have told us that:

Age: 38 years Weight: 56 kg No major illness Protein shakes give only temporary effect Weight does not sustain

Even if you eat more, if digestion and absorption are weak, weight will not increase permanently.

✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION (AYURVEDIC TONICS & MEDICINES) These medicines improve digestion + tissue nourishment + permanent weight gain:

1. Ashwagandha Lehyam – 1 tsp twice daily after food (Helps muscle mass, stamina and strength to develop)

2. Draksharishta – 20 ml with equal water twice daily after meals (Improves digestion and leads to healthy weight gain)

3. Vidaryadi Ghrita – ½ tsp twice daily with warm water after meals (Very good for permanent weight and tissue nourishment)

4. Shatavari kalpa– ½ tsp twice daily with warm water (Helps metabolism and healthy fat deposition)

✅ About Alfalfa Tonic:

Yes, Alfalfa tonic can help a bit in appetite improvement, but by itself, it is NOT enough for permanent weight gain. The main treatment should not be Alfalfa but only supportive.

✅ EXTERNAL CARE

Daily Abhyanga (oil massage) with Ashwagandha Taila Massage entire body for 15–20 minutes before bath This activates: Muscle nourishment Blood circulation Weight maintenance

✅ HOME REMEDIES

1. Milk + Dates smoothie daily 2. Soaked black raisins (munakka) – 8–10 daily 3. Peanut chikki / roasted peanuts with jaggery 4. Desi ghee 1 tsp daily with rice or roti 5. Warm milk with dry ginger pinch at night (if you tolerate milk)

✅ DIET PLAN

✅ INCLUDE

Rice, chapati with ghee Dal, paneer, curd, milk Potatoes, sweet potato Banana, mango, chikoo Almonds, cashews, dates Homemade sweets in moderation

❌ AVOID

Skipping meals Excess tea/coffee Cold drinks Junk, bakery, packaged foods Late-night eating

✅ LIFESTYLE TIPS

Sleep before 11 pm Do light strength-building exercises Avoid overthinking and stress Eat at fixed timings daily Do not overdo protein powder—natural nutrition works better in Ayurveda

✅ INVESTIGATIONS NEEDED To be able to exclude the hidden causes:

Haemoglobin (Hb) Thyroid profile (TSH) Vitamin B12 Vitamin D3 Fasting Blood Sugar

✅ IMPORTANT TRUTH ABOUT PERMANENT WEIGHT GAIN

– Protein shakes = temporary pump only – Ayurvedic tonics = permanent tissue building from inside – With proper digestion + nourishment → weight remains stable and does not fall back

You can expect:

2–4 kg healthy weight gain in 2–3 months Strength and stamina will be bettered Better appetite and digestion No rebound weight loss With the right medicines, diet and massage,
