Obesity & other Lifestyle Disorders
Obesity, often seen as an imbalance in the body’s natural energies in Ayurveda, is a rising health issue that can lead to various chronic conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, and joint problems. Ayurveda views obesity as a result of an imbalance in Kapha dosha combined with poor digestion and accumulation of toxins, known as ama. Ayurvedic treatment for obesity control offers a holistic approach that includes herbal remedies, dietary adjustments, lifestyle changes, and cleansing therapies designed to restore balance, promote weight loss, and improve overall health.
Our ayurvedic treatment for obesity offers a natural, sustainable approach to weight control that goes beyond mere calorie counting.
Key Aspects of Obesity Disorder
In Ayurveda, obesity is referred to as Sthoulya and is linked primarily to an excess of Kapha dosha—the energy associated with stability, moisture, and earth elements. When Kapha becomes excessive due to poor dietary habits, sedentary lifestyle, and emotional factors, it leads to weight gain, sluggish metabolism, and fat accumulation. Furthermore, poor digestion contributes to ama buildup, which slows down metabolism and contributes to further weight gain.
Triphala
A blend of three fruits (amalaki, bibhitaki, and haritaki), Triphala is renowned for its detoxifying properties, helping to cleanse the digestive tract, boost metabolism, and promote fat loss.
Guggulu
Known for its fat-burning and anti-inflammatory properties, guggulu helps in breaking down fat cells, reducing cholesterol, and improving circulation.
Garcinia Cambogia (Vrikshamla)
This herb is commonly used to suppress appetite and prevent the formation of new fat cells, promoting weight loss.
Punarnava
Punarnava is a diuretic and a natural anti-inflammatory, supporting the reduction of water retention and helping in gradual weight loss.
Reclaim Your Health: An Ayurvedic Approach to Lifestyle Disorders
In our modern world, conditions like diabetes, obesity, PCOD, hypertension, and digestive issues are increasingly common. Ayurveda identifies these not as isolated illnesses, but as Lifestyle Disorders—direct outcomes of a chronic imbalance between our body’s natural constitution (Prakriti) and our daily habits.
The root cause is often impaired digestion (Agni) and the accumulation of metabolic toxins (Ama), fueled by poor diet, chronic stress, sedentary routines, and disrupted sleep.
