Healthy weight — in either direction — depends on digestion, nourishment, activity, sleep, stress and metabolism. Ayurveda treats being overweight and being underweight as two different patterns of imbalance, each needing its own approach.
Ayurveda describes excess body fat and obesity under Medoroga and Sthaulya, commonly associated with impaired Agni, excess Kapha and accumulation of Meda Dhatu. Ayurveda does not focus only on reducing body weight — it aims to improve Agni, metabolism, body composition and daily habits for sustainable management.
Selected by Dosha and skin condition
Ayurveda believes healthy weight depends on proper digestion and nourishment of the body's tissues. Low body weight may be associated with Vata aggravation, weak Agni, inadequate nourishment or poor tissue formation. Prakriti is also considered, as naturally lean body types may have a different healthy weight range. The aim is to improve digestion and ensure food is properly utilised to nourish the body.
Unexplained or sudden weight loss should be medically evaluated to rule out an underlying condition
Whether the goal is losing or gaining, AYURnest builds a plan around your Agni, Dosha and Prakriti — not a generic diet chart.
