Obesity Reversal

Obesity Reversal

In today's fast-paced world, both men and women face unique challenges in maintaining health and wellness.  Obesity, a widespread health issue, affects individuals worldwide due to various factors such as hormonal changes, sedentary lifestyles, and unhealthy eating habits. Excessive body fat impacts not only physical appearance but also increases the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and other health complications. Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, offers effective and natural solutions to combat obesity and manage related lifestyle diseases by identifying and addressing their root causes.

Root Causes (Nidanas) of Obesity

Obesity is a metabolic disorder typically resulting from an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure. It is particularly prevalent in affluent societies and is often associated with sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy dietary habits. In Ayurveda, the root causes of obesity include:

  1. Dietary Causes: Excessive consumption of energy-dense foods high in fat and carbohydrates.
  2. Behavioral Causes: Lack of physical activity, irregular food habits, and excessive daytime sleeping.
  3. Psychological Causes: Stress, anxiety, and other mental health issues.
  4. Miscellaneous Causes: Age, sex, genetics, endocrine disorders, medications (e.g., steroids, oral contraceptives), and improper administration of therapeutic measures.

Ayurveda categorizes obesity (Sthaulya) and excess fat tissue (Medovriddhi) as conditions resulting from an imbalance of the doshas, with Medovriddhi being the initial stage that can progress to Sthaulya if left unchecked.

The Ayurvedic Approach: Beyond BMI

Ayurveda emphasizes that each individual's body type (Prakriti) has unique traits, and a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI) range can vary accordingly. Instead of solely relying on BMI, Ayurvedic assessments focus on understanding one's body constitution (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) to develop personalized treatment plans. This holistic approach ensures that treatments are tailored to the specific needs and imbalances of each individual, promoting sustainable and effective weight management.

Painful Periods/ Dysmenorrhea

Painful periods can significantly affect a woman's quality of life, leading to symptoms such as cramps, nausea, fatigue, headaches, diarrhea, sweating, and faintness. Our approach combines Ayurvedic remedies with personalized guidance on managing menstrual hygiene, diet, cravings, hormonal imbalances, obesity, and emotional distress to achieve pain-free periods. Kiaan ayurveda provides best ayurvedic treatment for dysmenorrhea.

Ayurveda is an ancient holistic science that focuses on the knowledge of life. It not only deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases but also promotes a healthy mind, body, and soul. In Ayurveda, painful periods can be correlated with Kashtartava, where the menstrual bleed (Aartava) is expelled with difficulty and pain, affecting daily activities.

What is Dysmenorrhea?

Dysmenorrhea refers to painful menstrual cramps that occur just before or during menstruation. It is a common issue, particularly among young adolescent girls, and can cause significant anxiety for the women affected and their families. Primary dysmenorrhea is the most prevalent symptom in young adolescent girls. It can start before menarche and may persist for years, even after marriage and childbirth. Kashtartava can be expressed as "kashten munchyati iti kashtartava," meaning the condition where Aartava is shed with great difficulty and pain.
