• Detoxification through Ayurveda Therapy Udvartanam: It is a unique whole-body therapy that uses herbal powder mixed with warm oil. The herbal paste is spread in a synchronized way to give a whole-body massage, with special attention to areas of increased fat deposits.

During the treatment, sesame oil is used to create an herbal mixture and the herbal powders used are dry in nature so as to create a mixture hot in potency. It helps in removing fat blockages and stiffness and thus, each massage stroke results in scrapping and liquefaction of excess Kapha (Fats). This herbal paste rub on the body stimulates fat metabolism and facilitates easy transportation of excess fat to the central eliminatory channels. Post the therapy, you are given a steam bath where you lose a lot of excess water in the body by sweating. The result is a reduced cellulite/ subcutaneous fat tissue.

• Drink plenty water: It’s important to flush out the toxins
• Do not skip meals: Instead, eat every 2 to 3 hours
• Eat smartly at social events: While eating at parties or buffets, fill up your plate with salads first. This way you will end up eating lesser calories.
• Manage your stress: One of the culprits for binge eating and snacking is stress. Practice meditation, yoga or other methods to de-stress yourself.

How Ayurveda Scores Over Conventional Therapies?

Ayurveda describes obesity as Sthaulya or Medo Roga. Obesity has been described as a disorder in which diminished bio-digestive fire of Meda-dhatu leads to the excess formation of Meda (Fats) in your body. The biggest difference between Weight Loss through Ayurvedic therapies and more conventional Western methods is the focus on burning the digestive-resistant fat depositions by re-igniting the digestive fires. Since Ayurvedic Weight Loss therapies focus on lifestyle modification, the doctors also give some natural Weight Loss tips that need changes in your diet and regular exercise.

Managing our weight is not an easy task. Due to unhealthy lifestyles choices, health conditions, genetics, etc. you might have gained a few extra pounds. However, opting for fad diets or trying losing weight quickly can only worsen the condition. To lose weight in a healthy manner, choose Weight Loss with Ayurveda.

In Ayurveda, it is believed that one of the reasons for being overweight is due to the imbalance of the Kapha Dosha. What happens is that the Kapha dosha and obesity share the same qualities, such as, both of them are slow, heavy, dense, etc. Therefore, when you start gaining extra kilos, your kapha becomes aggravated and this leads to even further weight gain.

Now, since you have decided to lose weight, the Ayurvedic way to lose weight is easy, uncomplicated, and simple. The best part about the Ayurveda fat loss treatment is that it promotes a healthy lifestyle.

The Weight Loss treatment in Ayurveda includes;

This cleanse will help you sleep well, improve your health, promote proper elimination of waste, improve metabolism and digestion.

• Practicing Yoga every morning

15 minutes of yoga every morning can prove to be immensely beneficial. It will not only act as a physical activity but, it will make you flexible and help you relax.
