Obesity is a worldwide health problem that affects millions of individuals. Obesity can be caused by various factors, including poor food choices, eating disorders, underlying illness, certain medications, a sedentary lifestyle, anxiety, and inherited factors. However, according to Ayurveda, an imbalance in the Kapha dosha is one of the major causes of obesity. People with a dominant Kapha constitution, according to Ayurveda, are more likely to gain weight than those with a Pitta or Vata dominating constitution. As a result, people with a Kapha energy imbalance must strive extra hard to prevent accumulating unnecessary weight. Obesity, or Medoroga, is one of the eight unpleasant disorders of the body mentioned in ancient Ayurvedic writings as Nindya Prakriti. Obese people have excessively pure fats or medas, which malnourish the body's other important dhatus. Obesity develops when fat metabolism is slowed, resulting in an increase in Kapha. The Ayurvedic treatment for obesity in Kerala is focused on treating the root cause of the disease and maintaining a healthy life with an ayurvedic diet.
In Ayurveda, the Panchakarma treatment is a five-step procedure that effectively removes toxins from the body. Virechana or purgation therapy, Basti or medicated enema, and deep-tissue massages – Mardanam and Udwarthanam – are some Panchakarma therapies that may be advised specifically for weight loss treatment in Ayurveda. Herbal powders and oils are used in the Mardanam and Udwarthanam massages to relieve bodily stiffness and obstructions. For example, sesame oil can be combined with other herbs in a massage to promote soft skin and fat tissue reduction. The oil opens up your body’s pores, raises tissue heat, and stimulates fat metabolism. Abhyangam therapy is another popular Panchakarma Ayurvedic treatment for weight loss. Increasing sweating and removing cellulite and subcutaneous fat employs particular oils such as Triphala, Kaphaghna, Valiya Lakshadi, Eladi Thailam, and Sainndhavadi Thailam, as well as a steam bath. It also nourishes your skin and removes odour from your body.
Dietary regulation is an important aspect of Ayurvedic obesity treatment. It is vital to reduce the amount of food you consume while also considering your type of food. Cooking the proper food and eating it correctly are essential components of a healthy diet plan. In addition, it’s important to remember to concentrate on the meal and minimise distractions while eating, as this allows your mind to better sense the flavour of the food. This will also ensure that the appropriate enzymes and digestive juices are secreted to digest the food completely. Obese people are advised to eat foods that aid to lower Kapha and excess fats. Food should be light, dry, and prepared with little oil. Turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, pepper, and coriander are among the herbs added to the diet. Raw veggies like cabbage can be ingested if the person has a prominent Pitta constitution and normal digestion.
