If you've struggled with gaining weight for five years, Ayurveda focuses on strengthening your digestive system (Agni), improving nutrient absorption, and enhancing overall vitality. Start by including calorie-dense, wholesome foods in your diet, such as ghee, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and dairy. Eating smaller, more frequent meals can help with digestion and nutrient absorption. Herbs like Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Gokshura are useful for building muscle and improving overall energy. You can also take a spoonful of Chyawanprash daily to support digestion and strength. Regular exercise, especially strength training or yoga, can help build lean muscle mass. Additionally, a daily oil massage (Abhyanga) using warm sesame oil can support your body's ability to absorb nutrients and improve circulation. Ensure you are getting adequate rest, as proper sleep is essential for muscle repair and overall well-being. If the issue persists, it's helpful to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner who can customize a plan based on your body type and individual health needs.

For long-term weight gain, Ayurveda focuses on strengthening your digestion (Agni), nourishing tissues (Dhatus), and balancing Vata dosha. Here’s the holistic approach: Treatment (Chikitsa): Herbal Supplements: Ashwagandha Churna: 1 tsp with warm milk twice daily to improve muscle strength and vitality. Shatavari Churna: 1 tsp with ghee or warm milk in the evening for nourishment. Chyawanprash: 1 tsp twice daily to strengthen immunity and support weight gain. Dietary Guidelines: Include: High-nutrition foods like whole milk, ghee, paneer, jaggery, almonds, dates, and bananas. Warm and freshly prepared meals with good fats like sesame oil or ghee. Root vegetables like potatoes, sweet potatoes, and carrots. Avoid: Cold, dry, and processed foods that weaken digestion. Lifestyle Practices: Abhyanga (Oil Massage): Use Bala Taila or Ashwagandha Taila for daily body massage to balance Vata and improve strength. Practice light yoga asanas like Bhujangasana, Vajrasana, and Surya Namaskar for better metabolism. Get 7-8 hours of quality sleep to promote tissue repair and growth. Digestive Support: Take Trikatu Churna (1/4 tsp with honey) before meals to enhance appetite and digestion. Regularity in diet, herbal support, and lifestyle changes will gradually improve your weight and overall vitality.

Okay, so here's the thing. Gaining weight in Ayurveda isn't just about eating more. It's more about making sure your body is balanced so it actually supports gaining. We look at your dosha, digestive fire (agni), and how your tissues (dhatus) are nourished. First things first, understanding your prakriti type matters. If you're a Vata type (tends to be more on the thinner, lighter side), you're likely experiencing an imbalance. Vata types often have issues with weight gain due to irregular digestion and absorption. Start by focusing on your agni. If your digestive fire is weak, your body can't use the nutrients you take in properly. You might wanna include ginger tea before meals to stoke your agni. Just take a slice of fresh ginger, sprinkle some lemon and salt, chew it about 15 mins before eating. Next, nutrient-dense foods are your friends. Think about incorporating more whole grains, like brown rice, oats, and quinoa. They give sustained energy and help build up tissues over time. Also, good quality oils like ghee are excellent - cook with it, add it to your rice or bread, it's a great way to boost calories healthily. To balance your Vata, regular meals, and sleep routines are crucial. Try eating 3 times a day at the same times if possible. Rest, like making sure getting enough proper sleep (around 7-9 hours), is supportive of weight gain too. Regular oil massages with sesame oil can help in calming Vata and improve your body's capacity to nourish itself. Exercise wise, gentle, strength-building activities work best. Things like yoga or light weights help build muscle without overstraining your system. Remember, it takes time. You're working with your body's natural rhythms, not against them. And sure, always get checked if something feels off, or it's not improving after a while. Keep it chill, don't stress, weight gain should be a gradual process.
