The term Ayurveda is taken from the Sanskrit words ayus, meaning life or lifespan, and veda, meaning knowledge. It has been practiced in India for at least 5,000 years and has only recently became popular in Western cultures.
Ayurvedic treatment, works on awareness that materials that can be extracted from vegetables, animals, and minerals have some medicinal value. This observation and the details of the treatment process have been well documented in ancient texts.
According to these texts, an overweight person is among the most exposed to the eight types of diseases-prone bodies, ie., heart disease, orthopedic problems, high blood pressure, diabetes and gall bladder conditions, compared to an average weight individual.
Using the Ayurvedic method in controlling weight involves weight loss solutions that depend on natural weight loss. One has to strictly adhere to a regulated diet that would consist of the following:
• The juice of fresh lime in warm water with a teaspoon of honey early in the morning.
• Non-fat milk with sprouts of wheat or beans for breakfast.
• A glass of fresh orange, carrot or pineapple juice half an hour before lunch.
• Lunch with raw vegetable salad, steamed and boiled vegetables, and buttermilk garnished with cumin seeds, coriander leaves and grated ginger root.
• Lemon tea, coconut water or fresh vegetable soup with some dry fruits in mid afternoon.
• Finally, dinner with whole grain bread, steamed vegetables and seasonal fruits without banana and apple.
For Westerners, a diet that does not include meat may be a bit out of the ordinary, but obesity is a condition that requires hard decisions and sacrifices.
Ayurveda also has following medications mostly prepared as home remedies for herbal weight loss. You will need to borrow the preparation techniques from the ancient texts.,ie., Garcinia, Garcinia cambogi, Shilajit, Natural Asphaltum, Guggulu, Gugulipid, Gokshuraseed, Tribulis terrestris, Triphala, Three Myrobalans, Bhibitaki, Beleric myrobalan, Rhubarb, Rheum palmatum, Licorice, Glychyrrhiza glabra, Tulasi, Ocinum Sanctum.
Juices can be extracted from fresh leaves, flowers or stems of the herbs. Most of the herbs are dried in the shade, and grounded into fine powder and stored in an airtight container. Herbs are also soaked overnight and then boiled in water (1:16 ratio) until the water reduces to a quarter of the original quantity. This fluid can be stored and used later. Another method is infusion where 1 part of herb is put in 8 parts of water and put on low heat, taking care that it does not boil. The moisture is then strained and used.
Honey is the most preferred additive for food items or herbal preparations to make them palatable
