Ayurveda Weight Management

Ayurveda Therapy for Weight Loss

Duration: 21 /28 days
According to Ayurveda, the tendency to put on more weight easily or not gaining enough weight depends on imbalance in five elements of body and constitution of three doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Although poor dietary choices and inactivity are said to be the top reasons for obesity, physical workout and diets can do very little to help if the underlying cause in dosha imbalances are not managed at the same time.
Weight Management in Ayurveda deals more with the way our digestive system processes the food and impact of liver in anabolic metabolism, which causes the accumulation of excessive Kapha and Ama (toxins from food and drinks). An imbalance in Kapha can result in weight gain or obesity, while a build-up of Ama is typical among those who are underweight.

The Weight Management Therapy at AyurYoga Eco-Ashram includes specific ayurvedic treatments to increase the element of Fire and decreasing anabolic metoblism. This program includes several powder massages and steam, along with ayurvedic oral medications to increase pitta (fire) which will improve the catabolic metabolism of the body.

In addition to Ayurveda treatments and medications, healthy diet and lifestyle in mother nature at our ashram, yoga, pranayamas, meditation etc. can be very helpful in maximizing the effect of this ayurvedic therapy for weight loss.

Please note we don’t give you any specialized diet during this therapy. You will be eating healthy and yummy food like all other guests in the ashram, twice a day and fruits once. We will not compel you to eat less or more – unlike many other weight management programs. We may suggest reducing the amount of rice or bread. Nevertheless, most of our diet consists of vegetables, curries and lentils, along with salads and a separate fruit meal. So, there is not much negative impacting nutrients (such as excessive fats, sugars, etc) in our diet, in case if you are wondering why we don’t restrict your diet. From our experience, starving is not a solution, instead we want you to eat healthy.
