Ayurveda & Obesity

One of the major reasons for obesity is an imbalance in the Kapha dosha as per Ayurvedic perspective. Ayurveda states that people with a dominant Kapha constitution are more likely to gain weight than Pitta or Vata dominant individuals. Obesity is the result of hampered fat metabolism followed by an increase in Kapha. The root cause for obesity can impute to an improper or abnormal meda dhatu, which is formed due to weak fat metabolism. Obesity treatment in Ayurveda is not just focused on reducing your weight, but also adjusts metabolic processes by eliminating Ama and extra fats to regulate the role of Kapha while preventing Vata aggravation.
