In obese people, usually the metabolism of the body is disturbed without proper conversion and formation of body tissues. The impairment of digestive fire affects the tissue transformation also. As a result, lipid metabolism will also be disturbed. This results in excessive formation of adipose tissue leading to deposition of fat in different parts of the body.
Ayurveda therapies for weight loss aim at increasing the metabolism and burning off the excess fat deposited in the body. Kaphamedohara & Vatanulomana oushadhas and chikitsakramas (medicines and therapies that are lipolytic in nature and correcting the bodily functions) are administered. Panchkarma procedures and Kerala special Ayurvedic therapies are very helpful in this regard.
Yoga practice can provide physical and mental health benefits for a person trying to lose weight. Pathyahara (diet control), Vyayama (exercise) and Chikitsa (Ayurvedic therapies) should go hand in hand for a quick and favourable outcome.
