Overweight rates have more than doubled since 1990, and by 2024, nearly 1 billion people might be impacted globally. This condition raises the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, and specific cancers.
Overweight can have a number of disadvantages and negative effects on an individual’s health and overall well-being, including Joint Problems and Musculoskeletal Issues, Increased Risk of Medical Conditions, Breathing Difficulties, Increased Risk of Mental Health Issues, Reduced Quality of Life, Functional Limitations, and Increased Healthcare Costs.
By helping to identify the imbalances in the body, boosting general health, and apply the best lifestyle changes, ayurveda adopts a systematic approach to weight loss.
Here are some ways that Ayurveda can aid in losing weight:
Figuring out Dosha Imbalances:
Ayurveda specifies three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—that can cause weight growth. Ayurveda gives specific nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle advice based on an individual’s dosha and unique imbalances to restore balance and encourage weight loss.
Ayurvedic Diet Principles :
Ayurvedic nutrition highlights a balanced, personalized diet based on body type, digestion, and imbalances. It encourages full, unprocessed foods, mindful eating, optimal food combinations, and incorporating all six tastes—sweet, sour, salty, bitter, spicy, and astringent—to help manage cravings and preserve balance.
Metabolism boosters :
To improve metabolism, Ayurvedic practitioners use herbs and spices such as fenugreek, guggul, black pepper, turmeric, ginger, and cumin. These natural compounds aid digestion, weight loss, and general metabolic health.
Detoxification (Pachakarma) :
Panchakarma treatments for weight loss include Virechana (the cleansing) to detoxify and encourage metabolism, Udvarthanam (herbal powder massage) to break down fat, Swedana (steam therapy) to improve circulation, and Basti (medicated enema) to aid digestion and fat metabolism. Lekhana Basti and Kshar Basti are also effective fat burners. When combined with dietary and lifestyle improvements, these techniques encourage long-term weight loss.
Healthy Eating Practices :
Ayurveda promotes healthy eating habits by providing a relaxing mealtime atmosphere, chewing food completely, and eliminating distractions. This strategy helps people become more conscious of hunger and fullness signs, resulting in improved eating habits.
Lifestyle Changes :
Ayurveda promotes daily and seasonal rituals (dinacharya and ritucharya) for maintaining health. Regular exercise, such as yoga, promotes digestion and energy conversion, while stress reduction, regular sleep, and a balanced diet help with weight loss.
Along with weight loss, encouraging body positivity, a healthy diet, and self-awareness are critical. To achieve safe, effective, and long-term outcomes, Ayurvedic weight loss should be customized and practiced under the supervision of an experienced doctor.
