How we approach it Ask about Weight Gain

Ask about Weight Gain

Leave your number and we call you back. Nobody else sees it.

Concern

I am happy to be called about this.

How this works

You tell us what you are seeing and how long it has been going on. We ask a few questions back, because the same complaint has more than one cause and the routine is different for each. Then we suggest something, and we tell you honestly if we do not think it will help.

What is realistic

Ayurveda works slowly and it works on some things and not others. A routine is worth starting when you can give it months rather than days, and it is worth stopping when nothing has changed. We do not promise a result, a size or a date, and anybody in this trade who does is guessing at your expense.

Nothing here is a medicine or a substitute for seeing a doctor. If something is painful, changing quickly, or new and one sided, please have it looked at properly first.

Before you buy anything

You will be talking to a person

Nothing here is bought from a shelf. You tell us what you are seeing, and we talk it through with you first.

You tell us what you are seeing

On WhatsApp or on a call, in your own words. There is no form to fill and nothing to buy at this point. The more plainly you describe it, the more useful the answer is.
We talk through a routine, not a purchase

What the tradition uses for that concern, how it is taken, how long it is usually given before anything is judged, and who it does not suit. If it is something we do not help with, we will say so.
You decide, and we are still here afterwards

The order is taken on the call, and the same number keeps working after the parcel arrives. Questions part way through a routine are the normal case, not a complaint.

Inside the formulations

The herbs we work with

Named, with what they are traditionally used for and nothing added on top.

Triphala त्रिफला

Three dried fruits, amla, haritaki and bibhitaki, ground together. One of the most widely used formulations in Ayurveda, taken traditionally for digestion, which is where a conversation about weight in this tradition usually starts.

Guggulu गुग्गुलु

Commiphora wightii. A resin at the base of several classical formulations the texts describe in the context of weight. One caution that matters: it is not taken in pregnancy, and it can interact with thyroid and blood thinning medicines. Tell us everything you take.

Ashwagandha अश्वगंधा

Withania somnifera. A rasayana, used traditionally to build strength, and one of the herbs the tradition turns to for somebody who is underweight. It is not taken in pregnancy, and ask us first if you have a thyroid condition.

Sonth सोंठ

Dried ginger, kept in every Indian kitchen and used in the tradition to support digestion, in warm water or in food. A plain herb, and a reminder that much of this is about everyday eating rather than a capsule.

Your privacy comes first

What you tell us stays between you and the person you speak to. Ask anything, however personal. That is what the call is for.

Questions people actually ask

We cannot tell you a number, and nobody honest can. Weight depends on food, sleep, activity, age, hormones and medicines. A routine is one part of that, never all of it.

No. Nothing we suggest burns fat or blocks food. The tradition works through digestion and daily habits, alongside the food you actually eat, not instead of it.

Tell us every medicine you take and every condition you are being treated for, and never stop anything your doctor prescribed. Some herbs do not mix with some medicines, and we would rather ask than guess.

Not without your doctor agreeing first. Several of the herbs used for weight are not given in pregnancy, so please tell us if you are pregnant, trying to be, or feeding.

Weight lost without trying, weight gained quickly with swelling, breathlessness or unusual tiredness, or a big change in appetite or thirst. Those need a doctor before anything else.

No crash diets. We talk about the food you already eat and the small changes you can keep up, because a plan you drop in a week does nothing.

Still deciding about Weight Gain?

Leave your number. A person calls you back, listens first, and tells you honestly whether a routine is likely to help.
