Ayurveda Treatment Methods

In Ayurvedic medicine, there is no single approach to treating obesity. Depending on the Prakriti the medications, purification therapies and diet varies. For example, for a vata dominant person, the vata purification therapies like cleansing and oleation enemas are part of the treatment. Abhyanga and herbal steam bath play a major role in the Vata type of person’s treatment plan.

       For Kapha type obesity, the treatment plan includes external powder applications with ginger, mustard etc. If obesity is due to excessive accumulation of toxins (Ama dosha) both internal medications and external applications are advocated.

Ayurvedic guidelines for obesity

a. Include barley, green gram, red gram and horse gram in your food

b. Honey is recommended in minor doses

c. Always drink warm water to eliminate toxins

d. Use sesame oil or mustard oil while cooking. Spices like turmeric, black pepper, ginger and rock salt are advised

e. Eat vegetables with astringent, bitter and pungent taste; soups made of such vegetables hastens the weight loss process

f. Avoid sweets prepared from wheat, cakes, pastries, milk and sugar, cold drinks, alcohol, deep fried foods and non-vegetarian food

g. An active life is very important to prevent and manage weight. Staying awake at night and sleeping in the day also cause obesity.

h. Ayurveda recommends herbs like Amrutha (Tinospora cordifolia), Mustaa (Cyperus rotundsa) Haritaki (Terminalia Chebula), Bibhitaka (Terminalia belerica) and Aamalaka (Embica officinalis) for prevention and management of this condition.

i. Ayurveda recommends a special weight loss recipe called ‘Takra Arishta’ – fermented buttermilk for active weight loss.

              Conclusion: An Ayurvedic treatment for obesity is always formulated individually.

      In Ayurvedic medicine, there is no single approach to treating obesity. The individual patient is examined before a treatment plan is decided upon to bring the doshas back in balance and address obesity swiftly and permanently.
