Weight Gain (Karshya)

Beyond Calories: Restore Your Metabolic Fire (Agni)

Weight Gain (Karshya)

The Ayurvedic Perspective: Being underweight is not merely a lack of fat; it is often a condition of Dhatu Kshaya (depletion of tissues). According to Sushruta, this occurs when Vata Dosha is aggravated, creating an internal environment of excessive dryness and hyperactivity. In this state, your metabolic fire is often Tikshna (sharp and erratic). It burns through nutrition so rapidly that the essence of food fails to nourish the Mamsa Dhatu (muscle tissue) or Meda Dhatu (adipose tissue).
