In Ayurveda strategies for weight loss are designed for each person after a thorough assessment of his/her- mind, body, and the soul. The specific remedy or ayurvedic medicines are decided based on the dosha of the person.

  • Follow a regular lifestyle regimen and diet according to your constitution.
  • Increase intake of foods that enhance your digestive fire or digestive power. Foods which enhance digestive power. Foods which enhance digestive fire are Ginger, Papaya, Mango, Pineapple, and Bitter melons.
  • Other methods to improve digestion: Take sips of hot water throughout the day, drink ginger tea 2-3 times per day; fast one day a week (you can take liquids, fruit or vegetable juices, warm skim milk, light soups, teas, etc); use herbs and spices like cumin, ginger, mustard seed, cayenne, and black pepper generously in your cooking.
  • Do exercise, yoga, meditation, and pranayama (breathing exercises) regularly according to your body type.

Herbs for Ayurvedic treatment of obesity

  • Take herbs like gotu kola, amalaki, and shilajit in power or capsule form.
  • Take a teaspoon of guggul with ginger and honey two or three times daily.
  • Mix chitrak (Plumbago zeylonica), kukti, and triaktu in equal parts. Daily take 1/2 teaspoon of this herbal blend with warm water.
These remedies are recommended for everyone irrespective of their dosha. Herbal ayurvedic remedies based on dosha type should take under the care of a professional ayurvedic practitioner. A thorough analysis by a professional will surely lead to better ayurvedic treatment for the overweight condition.

Caution: A professional ayurvedic prescribes a remedy based on your symptoms and dosha type. If you are on at-home ayurvedic treatment, and your weight does not improve in one to two months see a professional ayurvedic doctor.
