Overview

Ayurveda views excess weight as a Kapha-dominant imbalance tied to sluggish digestion (low Agni) and accumulated toxins (Ama). Rather than short-term calorie restriction, treatment focuses on restoring metabolic fire, reducing Kapha, and rebuilding sustainable eating habits.

Common Symptoms

  • Difficulty losing weight despite diet and exercise
  • Low energy and sluggishness, especially after meals
  • Water retention or bloating
  • Slow digestion
  • Frequent sugar or carbohydrate cravings

The Ayurvedic Perspective

Excess weight is linked to weakened Agni and excess Kapha accumulating as Meda Dhatu (fat tissue). Overeating, irregular meal timing, and low physical activity are seen as the primary aggravating factors.

Recommended Treatments

Udwarthanam

Herbal powder massage to stimulate metabolism and reduce Kapha.

Panchakarma

Full detoxification to reset digestive function.

Virechana

Therapeutic purgation to clear excess Kapha.

Personalized Diet Therapy

Meal plans built around your Agni and dosha profile.
