Natural Weight Care with Ayurveda: Healthy & Sustainable Wellness

Understanding Ayurvedic Approaches to Weight Management:

Maintaining a healthy weight is very essential not only for looking good but mostly for overall wellness.

Ayurveda, a holistic science, addresses the root cause and offers a natural and sustainable approach to weight care.

Root Causes of Weight Imbalance in Ayurveda:

Through proper diet, detoxification therapies, lifestyle changes, and Ayurveda therapies, one can restore balance in their body, and it can result in long-term weight management.

Therapies at Sevayu are designed to help individuals attain their ideal weight and balance their doshas.

Let us understand how Ayurveda helps us attain a healthy life with natural, time-tested treatments.

Ayurvedic Body Types and Their Effect on Weight:

Ayurveda classifies the body type depending on the predominance of the dosha – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Vata Body Type: Characteristics and Weight Tendencies

Each of these doshas influences body weight in a specific way. Vata individuals are mostly underweight, so they have a thin body structure.

Pitta Body Type: Balanced Weight and Metabolism

Those with Pitta have a balanced body. Kapha individuals are usually heavily built.

Dual-Dosha Constitutions and Weight Management

Most of the time, the constitution of the people is a combination of two doshas, so people will have the body frame in a combination of two or three doshas.

So we can understand that weight management is not just about dieting and working out, but it is about balancing the three doshas.

Panchakarma: Ancient Detoxification for Weight Balance

Ayurveda recommends Panchakarma treatment to cleanse the body of the ama (toxins). The Panchakarma therapy includes five detoxification therapies, namely Vamana (emesis), Virechana (Purgation), Basti (enema), Nasya (nasal installation of oil), and Raktamokshna (blood-letting).

These therapies help in the restoration of the metabolism and also eliminate the toxins from the body.

Depending on the dosha that is vitiated, one or more Panchakarma procedures are chosen.

Ayurvedic Diet Principles for Healthy Weight Management

A well-balanced diet is recommended in Ayurveda that is dosha-specific. To improve digestion, spices such as ginger, cumin, pepper, long pepper, turmeric, etc., are included.

Avoiding the intake of food that slows down the metabolism, such as fried, heavy, cold, and oily food, is recommended.

Mindful eating and eating at the proper time are insisted upon. Keeping oneself hydrated is essential, and including herbal teas and infused water is suggested to enhance the agni, or digestion.

For people with excess vata, nourishing and grounding foods are recommended. In case of excessive pitta, soothing food and food that is heat-producing are suggested.

In the case of Kapha, light and easily digestible food is recommended with lots of fiber.

Herbal Remedies for Natural Weight Care:

Ayurvedic medicines such as Triphala churna, Navaka guggulu, Punarnava, Vrikshamla, etc., are used in the treatment of weight loss.

In case of weight gain, Kushmanda Rasayana, Brihat Chagalyadi Ghritam, Ashwagandha Rasayana, etc., are advised.

Lifestyle and Physical Activity in Ayurvedic Weight Care

Physical activity is also very essential for maintaining the ideal weight of the body. Yoga, which also helps in balancing breathing and improving metabolism, is recommended.

It also helps in reducing stress. Surya Namaskara, Chandra Namaskara, Bhujangasana, Trikonasana, Veerabhadrasana, Paschimottanasana, etc., help in the overall fat reduction of the body.

Lifestyle modifications such as eating at the right time, waking up early, sleeping early, avoiding late-night sleep and stress, avoiding binge-eating, etc., are emphasized.
