Here is a very simple Ayurvedic plan, safe for Vata-pitta, hEDS, IC, endometriosis, and without hormonal disturbance
1. Small change in your current routine Use Trikatu only once daily (before lunch) Not before every meal (it reduces fat & tissue) 2. Add ONE internal medicine Choose one only: Ashwagandha lehya – 1 tsp at bedtime or Bala churna – 1 tsp with warm milk at night (Continue Shatavari as you are.) 3. Daily oil massage (very important) Massage breasts & buttocks with Sesame oil + Shatavari oil (or Bala oil) 10–15 minutes daily, then warm bath 4. Simple food support Add 1–2 daily: 5–6 soaked almonds 1 date Small amount of ghee 5. Night milk (small change) Warm almond milk + Shatavari + ghee + pinch nutmeg Use turmeric alternate days only What to avoid Fenugreek, wild yam, strong hormone herbs Excess cardio, fasting, meal skipping Expectation Improves softness, fullness, shape Butt responds better than breasts
Excercise for breast development under guidance of Physiotherapist. Massage with Ashwagandha oil clockwise. Tab.Shatavari 2-0-2 Follow up after 4weeks.
Take Ashwagandh ksm 66 2 bd Take shatavri 2 bd Take bramhi 2 bd Do nasya with cow ghee 2 drop each nostril 2 time at 6 pm and 6 am
What you are experiencing is not a cosmetic issue alone it is a tissue depletion state caused by prolonged illness stress digestion weakness and nervous system overload Your body has gone into survival mode and in that mode it protects vital organs first and withdraws nourishment from secondary tissues like breasts hips and buttocks This is especially common in vata dominant ppl and even more so when connective tissue integrity is already fragile as in your condition So this is not about forcing growth it is about convincing the body that it is safe again
Your current routine is actually intelligent and want to reassure that nothing you are doing is wrong n are already working on digestion calming the nervous system and gentle nourishment which is essential ,right now your system needs a shift from stimulating to rebuilding Trikatu before every meal for a long period can over dry tissues in vata ppl especially when weight loss is already present I would suggest reducing it to once a day before the heaviest meal
Breast and hip tissue respond more to sustained nourishment calm hormones and deep sleep than to calories alone You do not need to gain overall weight to regain localized fullness but you do need consistent anabolic signals This comes from fats minerals slow proteins and emotional safety
Warm almond milk is good but you can rotate with oat milk or cow milk if tolerated Adding soaked dates or figs blended into the milk a few times a week can help rebuild soft tissue without spiking hormones Using ghee internally is excellent but increase it very gradually so the body trusts it A small amount in the morning with warm food is more effective for tissue building than large amounts at night
oil massage is one of the most powerful tools I would suggest focusing attention on the breasts hips lower back and thighs using slow circular strokes w Leave the oil on for at least twenty minutes
For breast specific support gentle self massage daily even for five minutes builds circulation and tissue responsiveness Do not expect fast results this is a slow regenerative process
Because you want to avoid hormonal disruption it is important to stay away from aggressive phytoestrogen loading Instead focus on nourishment herbs rather than hormone pushing ones You are already using shatavari which is fine at a moderate dose and should not be increased aggressively Nutmeg at night is good for sleep just a pinch with warm milk is enough
Your bottom responds strongly to muscle tone plus lubrication,mild strength training for glutes combined with oil massage and adequate protein will help restore shape without overall weight gain Bone broth is very appropriate for connective tissue and hips Continue it regularly
Stress is the biggest block to tissue regeneration High stress keeps the body in breakdown mode No amount of herbs can override this So prioritize deep rest breathing gentle routines warmth and emotional regulation Samavritti is excellent You may also benefit from extending one breathing practice at night before sleep
Endometriosis and bladder sensitivity mean inflammation must stay low So avoid pushing anything that creates heat urgency or overstimulation
In terms of timeline realistic changes begin around three months with visible softening and fullness by six months if stress reduces and nourishment remains consistent This is not about dramatic size increase but restoring healthy padding tone and femininity to tissues that were depleted
Dnt worry you can rebuild and growth your breast naturally with ayurvedic medicines and some massage oil therapy…it’s miraculous results :-
Ashwagandha churna=100gm Shatawari powder=100gm Gokshura powder=100gm Chana sattu powder=100gm Singada powder=100gm…mix and take 1/1 TSP with milk after meal twice daily

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS SO OPENLY I WANT TO FIRST ACKNOWLEDGE HOW MUCH AWARENESS AND DISCIPLINE YOU ALREADY HAVE IN YOUR HEALING PROCESS AND ALSO REASSURE YOU THAT WHAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING IS VERY COMMON AFTER CHRONIC ILLNESS AND RAPID WEIGHT LOSS AND IT IS REVERSIBLE TO A DEGREE WITHOUT CREATING HORMONAL DISTURBANCE IF DONE CORRECTLY
WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS NOT JUST FAT LOSS BUT LOSS OF NOURISHMENT TO DEEP TISSUES YOUR BODY IS CURRENTLY IN SURVIVAL AND REPAIR MODE SO IT IS PRIORITISING VITAL ORGANS OVER SHAPING TISSUES LIKE BREASTS AND GLUTEAL AREA IN A DRY HIGHLY MOBILE SYSTEM LIKE YOURS THIS HAPPENS QUICKLY
YOUR CURRENT ROUTINE IS VERY GOOD FOR CLEANSING AND DIGESTION BUT IT IS STILL A BIT TOO DRY AND REDUCING FOR SOMEONE WHO IS ALREADY DEPLETED TRIKATU BEFORE EVERY MEAL AND TRIPHALA DAILY CAN CONTINUE TO PULL DOWN TISSUE IF USED LONG TERM IN YOUR CASE THIS DOES NOT MEAN STOPPING BUT REDUCING
FIRST IMPORTANT CHANGE REDUCE TRIKATU TO ONCE DAILY BEFORE YOUR HEAVIEST MEAL ONLY THIS WILL PROTECT DIGESTION WITHOUT OVER DRYING
TRIPHALA SHOULD BE USED ONLY TWO TO THREE TIMES A WEEK NOT DAILY YOU NEED BUILDING NOW NOT SCRAPING
FOR BREAST AND BOTTOM TISSUE REGENERATION THE KEY IS LOCAL NOURISHMENT AND SLOW SYSTEMIC BUILDING NOT HORMONE PUSHING
ADD DAILY LOCAL APPLICATION AT NIGHT USING WARM SHATAVARI OIL OR SESAME OIL INFUSED WITH SHATAVARI GENTLY MASSAGE BREASTS AND GLUTEAL AREA FOR TEN MINUTES DAILY THIS WORKS LOCALLY WITHOUT SYSTEMIC HORMONAL SPIKES CONSISTENCY IS EVERYTHING
INTERNALLY CONTINUE SHATAVARI BUT KEEP DOSE MODERATE AS YOU ARE DOING COMBINE WITH GHEE WHICH YOU ARE ALREADY TAKING THIS IS CORRECT
ADD A SMALL AMOUNT OF SOAKED BLACK SESAME SEEDS OR TAHINI DAILY THIS BUILDS SHAPE TISSUE AND PELVIC SUPPORT WITHOUT CAUSING WEIGHT GAIN
ALMONDS AND WALNUTS SOAKED AND TAKEN IN SMALL QUANTITY DAILY WILL SUPPORT FAT REDISTRIBUTION IN A HEALTHY WAY
BONE BROTH AND GHEE ARE EXCELLENT CONTINUE THEM DO NOT FEAR THEM THEY WILL NOT MAKE YOU FAT THEY WILL MAKE YOU STABLE
VERY IMPORTANT BREATHING AND STRESS YOUR VERY HIGH STRESS LEVEL IS DIRECTLY BLOCKING TISSUE REGENERATION EVEN WITH PERFECT FOOD YOUR BODY WILL NOT BUILD IF IT FEELS UNSAFE CONTINUE SAMAVRITTI AND ALSO ADD ONE SESSION DAILY OF DEEP REST WITHOUT INPUT NO PHONE NO TALK JUST LYING DOWN
AVOID ANY STRONG DETOX OR FASTING PHASES FOR NOW THEY WILL FURTHER FLATTEN BREAST AND GLUTEAL TISSUE
UNDERSTAND THIS VERY CLEARLY YOU CANNOT SPOT BUILD WITHOUT SOME SYSTEMIC NOURISHMENT BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU WILL BECOME OVERWEIGHT YOUR BODY WILL FIRST RESTORE WHAT IT LOST
EXPECT SUBTLE CHANGES OVER THREE TO SIX MONTHS FULLNESS SOFTNESS AND BETTER SKIN TONE BEFORE SIZE THIS IS THE CORRECT AND SAFE PATH
YOU ARE DOING MANY THINGS RIGHT NOW THE MAIN SHIFT IS FROM CLEANING MODE TO REBUILDING MODE YOUR BODY IS READY FOR THAT TRANSITION AND IT CAN BE DONE GENTLY SAFELY AND WITH RESPECT TO YOUR HORMONES AND CONDITIONS I AM CONFIDENT YOU WILL SEE CHANGE IF YOU STAY PATIENT AND KIND TO YOUR SYSTEM

Internal Medication & Regimen
Morning (on waking)
Shuṇṭhi cūrṇa 250 mg with warm water.
Rationale: Mild agni stimulation without katu excess or meda depletion.
Breakfast (within 30 minutes of waking)
Warm, freshly prepared, soft food only. Examples: rice porridge with ghee, mung dal khichadi with adequate fat.
Cold foods, raw fruits, smoothies, protein shakes, or cold nut milks are to be avoided in the morning.
Mid-morning (10:00–11:00 am)
Vidārikand cūrṇa 3 g Warm milk as anupāna, with 5 ml ghee
Rationale: Primary rasa–māṃsa–meda poshaka with minimal estrogenic stimulation. This is the cornerstone drug for tissue rebuilding in this case.
Lunch (main meal)
Cooked grains, well-cooked dals, vegetables with oil or ghee. Adequate salt and unctuousness mandatory.
Prior to lunch: Trikatu cūrṇa 250 mg with warm water, once daily only.
Rationale: Supports digestion of heavier brimhaṇa foods without chronic drying.
Evening (optional, if fatigue or weakness persists)
Ashwagandha cūrṇa 2 g Warm milk with ghee
If heat, irritability, pelvic pain, or IC symptoms increase, discontinue Ashwagandha.
Night (post-dinner, 30 minutes after food)
Shatavari cūrṇa 2–3 g Turmeric 250 mg Nutmeg 125 mg Warm milk with ghee
Rationale: Supports tissue repair, sleep, parasympathetic dominance, and hormonal rhythm without stimulation.
Bedtime
Triphala cūrṇa 3–5 g with warm water.
If stools become dry or IC flares, reduce dose or shift to soaked Triphala water.
External Therapy
Daily Abhyanga
Warm sesame oil or Shatavari-siddha taila.
Breasts: Gentle circular movements, followed by upward strokes, 10–12 minutes. Gluteal region: Firm strokes with mild pressure, followed by warm shower or hot towel fomentation.
Rationale: Improves local circulation, tissue uptake, and firmness without systemic hormonal action.
Dietetic Support (Essential)
Bone broth or collagen-rich soups regularly. Adequate ghee intake daily. Protein intake must be sufficient. Dal alone is inadequate for rebuilding lost tissue. Include paneer, egg yolk, or other tolerated animal protein as applicable.
Exercise Guidance
Avoid aggressive fat-burning or excessive cardio.
Emphasise slow, controlled resistance exercises: Glute bridges, hip thrusts, clamshells, chest fly movements with light resistance.
High repetitions, slow tempo. The goal is tissue fullness and strength, not leanness
What to Stop or Reduce from Current Regime
Trikatu before every meal. This is excessive for a Vāta-dominant, connective-tissue-fragile body and will continue meda depletion.
Any additional katu, tikta, or rukṣa interventions aimed at “ama reduction” once digestion is stable. Over-cleansing at this stage is counterproductive.
Any estrogen-boosting herbs, phytoestrogen concentrates, soy products, or internet-driven breast-enhancement formulations.
Caloric restriction, fasting, intermittent fasting, or weight-cycling practices.
High-intensity training focused on fat loss.
Clinical Expectations (Realistic)
Improvement in tissue firmness, shape, and subjective fullness over 3–6 months. Mild volume gain possible. Return to previous pre-illness body composition is unlikely without overall weight gain.
Final Clinical Note
Your body is not refusing to grow tissue; it is protecting itself from instability. The priority is architectural repair, not cosmetic chasing. Follow up after 1 month.
Oh and one last thing that I forgot to mention is that I have verryyyyyy low ferritin, what can I do to support this please?
Thank you so much for your thorough reply 🙏🏻
I am excited to incorporate the Vidārikand cūrṇa, it looks like the missing piece in my routine!
With the ginger powder before breakfast and dinner, will it not aggravate my pitta? Or is it ok in moderation? Should I add ghee so that it’s more cooling? (I struggle with getting the balance between warming for my vata and cooling for pitta without it affecting the other!)
And yes, please know that my priority is my physical health and well-being. Thank you for your compassion and concern with this ♥️ These cosmetic issues bother me as I have been through hell and that now shows in my physical appearance , it is hard to loose my beauty on top of losing everything else (vain as it may sound). But I wouldn’t do anything in the name of beauty to jeopardise my health so i will follow the guidance given here and make sure i build slowly, lovingly and patiently. What I find fascinating is how the changes to my physique reveal what needs addressing with my health and so I am now very excited to implement the new suggestions and feel myself regenerating and my tissues restoring. Thank you for giving me this hope
Hello I really appreciate how clearly you’ve explained your situation. Losing breast and buttock volume after a chronic illness, especially with your Vata-dominant body type and connective tissue issues (hEDS), can be tough emotionally. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊
You’re clear about what you want: better tissue quality and volume in specific areas, not overall weight gain, and no messing with your hormones. That’s a totally reasonable and achievable goal in Ayurveda, but it does take patience and a careful approach.
YOUR CONCERN
–A lot of weight and tissue loss because of chronic illness. –Noticeable loss of breast and buttock tissue. –You’re Vata dominant, with some Pitta tendencies. –You have hEDS, IC, and endometriosis (conditions sensitive to hormones). –You’re dealing with high stress and tiredness.
–You’re already doing great with a Vata-calming routine: * Trikatu (before meals) * Breathing exercises (Samavritti) * Shatavari + ghee + spices at night * Triphala * Bone broth, ghee * Oil massage (Abhyanga) * Simple, easy-to-digest foods
Your starting point is excellent! Now we need to shift from just fixing digestion to helping specific tissues grow back
AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING
Losing breast and buttock volume after an illness means:
–Your muscle and connective tissue (Mamsa dhatu kshaya) are depleted. –You’ve lost healthy fat under the skin (Meda dhatu kshaya). – Other tissues are low: breast tissue (Stanya / Stana) and buttock tissue (Sphik). –Long-term Vata imbalance. – Secondary depletion of Shukra & Ojas (deeper vital essences).
It’s important to remember: breasts and buttocks aren’t just fat. They need: * Good digestion * Nourished muscle and fat tissues * Stable hormone signals * Low stress (this is a big one)
A Quick Reality Check: Ayurveda can’t target fat to just one area like cosmetic procedures can. But, it can make your tissues healthier, fuller, more hydrated, and offer better structural support, which is super helpful for Vata types.
Your goal should be:
* Bring back tissue quality and a bit of volume. * Improve firmness and make empty areas feel fuller. * Support your connective tissue (which is key for hEDS).
This is all possible without overstimulating your hormones.
CHANGING YOUR CURRENT ROUTINE
1. Trikatu – Let’s Change This:
Using Trikatu before every meal might be too drying now.
* **Change to:** Trikatu just once a day, only before your biggest meal.
Too much Trikatu can:
* Increase Vata
* Burn fat (Meda)
* Make it harder for your body to build tissue.
Targeted Ayurvedic Support for Breasts and Buttocks:
2. INTERNAL – Tissue Building (Safe for Hormones)
1.Shatavari churna – Keep Going (but adjust): You’re using it well. * Dose:1/2 teaspoon once a day. * With warm almondmmmilk + ghee (as you do). * Don’t increase the dose (very important with endometriosis). * Shatavari helps by: nourishing muscle and fat, hydrating tissues, and gently balancing estrogen without overstimulating it.
Add: Ashwagandha CHURNA This is vital for connective tissue and buttock fullness. * Dose: ½ yep once a day, in the morning. * With warm milk or almond milk. * Why: It builds muscle without adding fat, strengthens fascia (important for hEDS), and helps reduce tissue loss caused by stress. * Avoid high doses.
Add: Vidarikand churna: This is one of the best non-hormonal tissue builders. * Dose: 1/2 teaspoon once a day. * With warm milk, in the afternoon or evening. * Benefits: It subtly helps breast fullness, nourishes muscle and fat, and is safe for Vata-Pitta types when used gently.
EXTERNAL THERAPY – Essential for Local Volume:
Local Oil Massage (VERY IMPORTANT):
Do a separate, targeted massage for your breasts and buttocks:
Oil options (switch weekly):Ashwagandha bala oil, Ksheerabala oil. Method Breast massage: gentle, circular motions, from out to in. Buttocks:firm upward strokes. Time: 10–15 minutes daily. Follow with a warm shower or warm compress. 👉 This improves: local blood flow, tissue nourishment, and over time, tone and plumpness.
MOVEMENT – Build Without Bulking Up: Strengthening (You’re on the right track):
Focus on Slow resistance training, glute bridges, hip thrusts, chest opening exercises (not intense pushups), Pilates / controlled strength. Avoid: Too much cardio, overtraining (which can destroy fat in Vata types).
DIET – Small Adjustments:
You’re eating very well! Just add:
* Almond paste (soaked, peeled) * Small amount of white sesame seeds * Oats / rice flakes with ghee * Avoid long periods without eating
What to Avoid (VERY IMPORTANT):
❌ Fenugreek, fennel in large amounts ❌ Too many phytoestrogens ❌ Breast growth pills ❌ Herbs that overstimulate hormones ❌ Over-cleansing
These can make endometriosis or IC worse.
You’re already doing about 80% of things right. The key now is to: * Reduce anything that’s too drying. * Add the specific treatments for muscle and fat tissue. * Do the local oil therapy consistently. * Keep stress low (stress can shrink tissue faster than diet can build it).
With respect and care, Dr Snehal Vidhate
