ACCORDING TO AYURVEDA CAUSE OF OBESITY

  • In Ayurevda, obesity is known as Medorog and Sthaulya. There are three energies vata, pitta and kapha which are essential to maintain a healthy body. Obesity occurs due to the aggravated kapha dosha. Kapha dosha in responsible to maintain the body weight by building up nutritive fluids, blood, fats and bone marrow.
  • In the balanced state of kapha dosha, it provides the nutrition to the tissues by several micro channels. But in the imbalanced state, kapha dosha results in toxin (ama) production in the body. Accumulation of these toxins occurs in the weaker passage of body which leads to blockage. In obesity, toxin gets deposited in the medovahi srotas (fat passage) and there is an increased production of fat tissues (Medha dhatu).

AYURVEDIC POINT OF VIEW ON BEING OVERWEIGHT:

According to Ayurveda, our body is made of seven dhatus or Sapta dhatus which are Rasa[lymph], Rakta[blood], Mamsa[muscle], Meda[fat], Asthi[bones], Majja[Nervous system], Shukra[reproductive system/semen or ovum]. When a person becomes overweight the amount of Meda or fat increases and becomes excessively nourished whereas the rest of the dhatus get malnourished. It also results in Kapha accumulation. Aggravation of kapha abnormally damages the fat metabolism which causes obesity. Ayurveda offers many herbs which help in losing weight.
