About Weight Loss & Obesity

Sthaulya · Medo-roga · സ്ഥൗല്യം

Ayurvedic understanding

Classical texts describe Sthaulya as accumulation of meda-dhatu (fat tissue) due to Kapha aggravation, weak Agni (digestive fire), and sedentary lifestyle. Charaka Samhita lists 8 Nindita Purusha (the obese being one of the 8 unhealthy types) and outlines specific risks: shortened lifespan, diabetes, joint disease, fatigue. The Kerala approach combines internal Lekhana herbs with external Udvartana (medicated powder massage) and graded Vyayama (exercise).

Kerala treatments

Udvartana (Kolakulathadi Choornam massage) is the signature Kerala Lekhana therapy — daily for 14–21 days, mobilises subcutaneous fat. Combined with Virechana Panchakarma to clear Kapha-Medas, dosha-typed diet, and progressive Yoga. Weight loss is gradual (2–4 kg/month) but sustained, with measurable improvement in lipid profile + insulin sensitivity.

Classical formulations

Always prescribed and monitored by a verified BAMS doctor. Self-medication, particularly with Rasaushadhis (mineral preparations), can cause harm.

Important

Patient outcomes for Weight Loss & Obesity are highly individual. Patterns of dosha-imbalance, duration of disease, and existing co-morbidities determine the right protocol — which is why every plan on AyurConnect is doctor-prescribed, never self-administered.
