At 163 cm and 47 kg, you are underweight. Focus on improving digestion and nourishing muscle tissue. Ashwagandha churna 1 tsp with warm milk at night after food. Shatavari kalpa 1 tsp twice daily with milk. Draksharishta 15 ml + equal water after lunch and dinner. Diet Drink 1 glass warm milk with 2 dates and 5 soaked almonds daily. Add ghee on rice/roti. Eat banana, paneer, mung dal, sesame laddu, and rice regularly. Do not skip breakfast. Lifestyle: Sleep before 10:30 pm. Light strength exercise or yoga 20–30 min daily.

Here is a comprehensive Ayurvedic protocol designed to help you gain weight naturally and healthily. ​1. Powerful Ayurvedic Remedies (Aushadhi) ​To support your body’s tissue building, you can incorporate these classic Ayurvedic herbs. ••​Ashwagandha & Shatavari Kheer: Mix 1/2 teaspoon of Ashwagandha powder and 1/2 teaspoon of Shatavari powder into a cup of warm, whole cow’s milk. Add a teaspoon of mishri (rock sugar) and a pinch of cardamom. Drink this twice a day—once in the morning and once before bed. Ashwagandha builds muscle mass, while Shatavari provides deep nourishment. ••​Chyawanprash or Kushmanda Avaleha: Take 1 tablespoon of Chyawanprash or Kushmanda Avaleha (ash gourd jam) with warm milk on an empty stomach in the morning. These traditional formulations are excellent for rejuvenating the body (Rasayana) and promoting healthy weight gain. ​2. Dietary Guidelines (Ahara) for Weight Gain ​Your diet needs to be Guru (heavy), Snigdha (unctuous/oily), and Ushna (warm). Avoid cold, dry, or raw foods (like salads and cold smoothies), which aggravate Vata and cause further weight loss. ​Foods to Favor: ••​Healthy Fats: Include 1–2 teaspoons of A2 Cow’s Ghee in every meal. Ghee stimulates Agni and helps transport nutrients deep into the tissues. ••​Soaked Dry Fruits: Every morning, eat 5–6 soaked and peeled almonds, 2 soaked dried figs (Anjeer), and 2-3 dates. ••​Grains & Pulses: Focus on rice, wheat, and oats cooked with milk or ghee. For protein, favor yellow moong dal and black gram (Urad Dal), which is highly praised in Ayurveda for building body bulk. ••​The Banana-Milk Combos: If your digestion is strong, a mid-morning snack of a ripe banana mashed with a little ghee or taken with a cup of warm milk is incredibly effective for Brimhana (bulking). ​3. Lifestyle & Daily Routine (Vihara) ​How you eat and live is just as important as what you eat. ••​Abhyanga (Self-Massage): Massage your body with warm Sesame Oil (Til Taila) or Bala Ashwagandhadi Taila before your bath. This calms the Vata dosha, relaxes the nervous system, and tones the muscles. ​Eat in a Calm Environment: Sit down to eat, avoid distractions (like your phone or TV), and chew your food thoroughly. Eating when stressed secretes hormones that prevent nutrient absorption. ••​Restful Sleep (Nidra): Ensure you get 7–8 hours of sound sleep. Sleep is the ultimate anabolic state where tissue repair and growth happen. Avoid day napping right after meals, but a short 20-minute power nap before 1 PM can help calm Vata.
