Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 20-year-old male. I am very thin and want to gain weight in a short span of time. Is there any Ayurvedic medicine for this?

Please suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You can gain weight easily through Ayurvedic medicines and yoga practices. Ayurvedic medicines and yoga can help correct your metabolism and improve your condition. Additionally, you should include protein and carbohydrate-rich foods in your diet.

The treatment plan includes Drakshasava (draksha, sharkara, and madhu), one tablespoon twice a day with equal amounts of water after meals, Shatavaryadi churna (shatavari, ashwagandha, and gokhru), 0.14 ounces twice a day with warm milk after meals, and Hiowna powder (kshira, kalaya, kharjura, and kasani), one tablespoon twice a day with warm milk after meals. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss these recommendations with them, and take the medicines with their consent. Additionally, perform regular kapalbhati and pranayama exercises.

Thank you.
