Causes for Under Weight According to Ayurveda
It is described in Ayurveda that a person's body has three energies vata, pitta and kapha. In a person in whom all these three energies are normal, there is little or no disease. The problem of low weight is due to imbalance of Vata energy. Ayurveda says that the digestive fire has an important function to digest food, due to which the body gets enough nutrients. A person whose body fire is not balanced may have digestive problems, hence digestive fire should be balanced. When the digestive fire is balanced, nutrition is transmitted to all the organs. In our place, the weight of the patient is increased by Ayurvedic medicines. Ayurvedic treatment starts the circulation of nutrients to the body, due to which the body gets enough energy and BMI (body mass index ) also reaches between 20 to 25.
