Ayurveda views excess weight not as a simple caloric problem but as a manifestation of impaired metabolism (Mandagni — weak digestive fire) and accumulated toxins (Ama). The approach at Srushti Ayurvedalaya addresses the root cause, leading to sustainable weight loss that lasts.
The Ayurvedic Approach
Unlike crash diets or extreme exercise regimes, Ayurvedic weight management:
- Identifies your body type (Prakriti) to personalise treatment
- Corrects digestive fire (Agni) to improve metabolism
- Removes accumulated toxins through targeted Panchakarma therapies
- Uses classical herbal formulations to reduce fat (Medodhatu)
- Provides dietary guidance aligned with your constitution and season
Treatments Included
- Udwartana — a deep dry powder massage that breaks down fat deposits and improves lymphatic circulation
- Lekhana Basti — a specialised enema therapy for weight reduction
- Virechana — purgation to clear Pitta-related metabolic sluggishness
- Herbal formulations — classical preparations like Triphala, Guggulu, and Medo-targeted herbs
- Dietary counselling — practical meal plans suited to your lifestyle
What to Expect
Results vary by individual, but patients typically notice improved digestion and energy within the first two weeks. Sustained weight reduction occurs gradually over 4–12 weeks depending on the programme.
