Ayurveda offers a natural and holistic approach to managing obesity by addressing the root cause rather than focusing only on weight loss. The aim is to improve metabolism, detoxify the body, and restore internal balance.

Understanding Obesity in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, obesity is referred to as Sthoulya, mainly caused by an imbalance of Kapha dosha. Excess Kapha leads to accumulation of fat tissue and sluggish metabolism. Weak digestive fire (Agni) results in improper digestion and formation of toxins (Ama), which further contribute to weight gain.

Ayurvedic treatment focuses on:

• Balancing Kapha dosha
• Improving metabolism (Agni)
• Reducing fat accumulation
• Eliminating toxins from the body

Causes of Obesity

Obesity can develop due to several factors:

• Overeating and high-calorie diet
• Lack of physical activity
• Hormonal imbalance
• Poor digestion and metabolism
• Stress and emotional eating
• Irregular sleep patterns

Symptoms of Obesity
