To gain weight healthily, focus on nourishing and balancing your Vata dosha. Include calorie-dense yet nutritious foods like ghee, nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts), seeds (flax, chia, sesame), milk, and whole grains (millets, brown rice, quinoa) in your diet. Eat small, frequent meals and ensure they are freshly prepared and warm. Add herbs like Ashwagandha and Shatavari to your routine, as they support strength and nourishment. Avoid skipping meals, cold or processed foods, and overexertion. Practice Abhyanga (oil massage) with sesame or almond oil to relax your body and promote nutrient absorption. Combine this with light yoga or mild physical activity to stimulate appetite and improve digestion.

Namaste Arbin ji,
For healthy weight gain, it is important to balance Agni (digestive fire) and nourish the Dhatus (body tissues). Here's an Ayurvedic approach to help you gain weight:
Dietary Recommendations:
Nourishing Foods:
Include calorie-dense, nourishing foods like ghee, milk, paneer, almonds, dates, and bananas.
Add whole grains like wheat, rice, and millets to your meals.
Protein-Rich Diet:
Consume lentils, sprouts, eggs (if non-vegetarian), and nuts to strengthen muscle tissues.
Ayurvedic Mixture:
Mix Ashwagandha powder and Shatavari powder (1 tsp each) in warm milk. Drink twice daily for strength and weight gain.
Lifestyle Changes:
Abhyanga (Oil Massage): Regular massage with sesame oil improves circulation and enhances nutrient absorption.
Avoid skipping meals and ensure proper rest to allow the body to rebuild.
Herbal Support:
Chyawanprash: Take 1–2 tsp daily with warm milk to boost immunity and promote healthy weight.
Vidaryadi Lehyam: A nutrient-rich tonic for weight gain, taken 1 tsp twice daily after meals.
Consistency is Key:
With consistent efforts in diet, lifestyle, and herbal remedies, you should see gradual and sustainable weight gain. If the issue persists, consult an Ayurvedic doctor to rule out any underlying conditions like malabsorption or thyroid imbalance.

Weight gain can be a bit tricky, but it's definitely doable with some patience and consistency. It's important to approach it from an Ayurvedic perspective, focusing on balancing your doshas, especially if you're Vata dominant, which could be the case given your light weight.
Firstly, think about your agni, or digestive fire. It’s key to your weight gain journey. You could start by sipping warm water throughout the day to help stoke your agni. Before meals, have a bit of fresh ginger with a pinch of salt and a few drops of lime juice. This simple combination can stimulate digestion and help you better assimilate nutrients.
Diet-wise, focus on grounding, nourishing foods that are sweet (naturally, like dairy, grains, nuts, seeds) as they are supportive for Vata balancing. Include whole cooked grains like rice and wheat, which are nourishing. You could also add some ghee, it’s not just tasty but also very nourishing from an Ayurvedic point of view. Adding soaked almonds or walnuts to your meals is also a good idea, they provide healthy fats and protein. Try to incorporate well-cooked vegetables and some sweet fruits too. Bananas, dates and figs can be particularly helpful for weight gain.
Regular meals are key, and you might consider eating more frequently – maybe every two to three hours, just make sure the meals aren't too large, so as not to overwhelm your agni.
Pay attention to your sleep, it plays a big role in weight management. Aim for 7-8 hours of restful sleep and avoid late nights as it aggravates Vata.
Lastly, light exercise like yoga can help in toning the muscles and improving digestion. Practicing poses like Bhujangasana (cobra pose) and tadasana (mountain pose) helps stimulates appetitive and metabolism. Just a heads-up, avoid over-exertion as it's not ideal for Vata types.
Do check in with an Ayurvedic practitioner in your area to get a personalized approach, and also, rule out any underlying conditions with medical tests if weight gain remains a challenge.
