Childhood Obesity

Childhood obesity is a growing concern linked to poor dietary habits, sedentary lifestyles, and metabolic imbalances, often involving aggravated Kapha dosha. Ayurveda approaches this condition by focusing on improving Agni (digestive fire), regulating metabolism, and eliminating toxins (Ama). Treatments include herbal formulations that aid fat metabolism, customized dietary plans rich in fiber and low in processed foods, and incorporating yoga and physical activity to enhance overall vitality. Panchakarma therapies like Udwartanam (herbal powder massage) are employed to reduce fat and stimulate circulation. This holistic approach helps achieve sustainable weight management while nurturing overall health in children.
