—Since your appetite is low and you have symptoms of Anorexia Nervosa, try eating small meals 5–6 times a day and include high-calorie foods like milk, eggs, nuts, bananas, rice, and peanut butter. Improving sleep and doing light exercise can also help increase appetite. Gradual weight gain of about 0.5–1 kg per month is a healthy goal. –Rx: 1)Ashwagandha Churna – 3 g with warm milk, twice daily after food. 2)Shatavari Churna – 3 g with milk, twice daily. 3)Chyawanprash – 1 tsp morning with milk. 4)Drakshasava – 15 ml with equal water after meals, twice daily. —Diet advice: Milk, ghee, rice, moong dal, banana, dates, almonds. —Lifestyle: Adequate sleep, light exercise, regular meals. —Follow-up: 15 days.

Namaste, Low weight with poor appetite and disturbed sleep can make it difficult for the body to gain weight. In such situations, the focus should first be on improving appetite, digestion, and proper rest. Simple measures that may help: Try eating small, frequent meals instead of large meals. Include nutritious and calorie-dense foods like milk (if suitable), ghee in small amounts, soaked almonds, bananas, rice, and moong dal. Take warm, freshly cooked meals and avoid skipping meals. Maintain a regular sleep schedule and reduce screen time before bedtime. Gentle yoga, breathing exercises, and light physical activity may help improve appetite and sleep. Ayurvedic medicines sometimes used to support appetite and healthy weight gain include: Ashwagandha Churna – traditionally used to support strength, weight gain, and overall nourishment. Shatavari Kalpa – sometimes used to support nutrition and body strength. Since you mentioned anorexia and very limited diet, it may also be helpful to consult a doctor or nutrition specialist for proper guidance and monitoring. Consult me for more advice and suggestions on the above medicines.
