What is Underweight & Healthy Weight Gain?
Being underweight (BMI below 18.5) can cause weakness, low immunity, hair fall, irregular periods and difficulty concentrating. Some people eat well but still cannot gain because of poor absorption, high metabolism, stress or an underlying condition such as thyroid or gut problems.
We first check for medical causes, then work on digestion and absorption so that food is converted into healthy tissue. Nourishing Rasayana herbs, a calorie-rich but wholesome diet and strength exercise help build weight steadily.
The Ayurvedic view — Karshya
Ayurveda calls this Karshya. Aggravated Vata, irregular or insufficient food, worry and excessive activity deplete the Dhatus, while weak Agni prevents nourishment from reaching the tissues. Treatment pacifies Vata and uses Brimhana (nourishing) therapy.
