Obesity & Weight Management

Ayurvedic Approach to Obesity

In Ayurveda, obesity is known as Sthoulya — a condition primarily caused by the aggravation of Kapha dosha and Meda Dhatu (fat tissue). When Agni (digestive fire) is weakened, food is not properly metabolised, leading to excessive accumulation of Meda Dhatu while other tissues remain undernourished.

How We Treat Obesity

At Vaidya Vrindavanam, our weight management approach includes:

1. Fat reduction therapies — Udwarthanam and Choorna Pinda Swedam to reduce subcutaneous fat and improve metabolism
2. Detoxification — Vasthi and Panchakarma to cleanse metabolic channels and restore digestive fire
3. External therapies — Abhyangam with specific Kapha-reducing oils to improve circulation
4. Internal medicines — Herbal formulations to boost metabolism, improve digestion, and reduce fat accumulation
5. Diet & exercise — Personalised Kapha-pacifying diet and graded exercise program

Recommended Treatments

• Udwarthanam — Herbal powder massage for fat reduction and improved metabolism
• Abhyangam & Swedam — Oil massage with steam therapy using Kapha-reducing oils
• Choorna Pinda Swedam — Herbal powder bolus massage for deep fat mobilisation
• Vasthi — Medicated enema therapy for metabolic correction

Duration

Our Weight Loss Package runs 21–45 days for significant and sustainable results. Shorter programs of 14 days can initiate the process, but longer residential stays with controlled diet and daily treatments produce the most lasting outcomes.
