Steps involved in ayurveda weight gain therapy or brimhana therapy:

1. Ayurveda physicians advise usage of herbs and other ingredients which have earth (prithvi) and water (ap) elements in larger proportions.
2. Vata causes emaciation or weight loss in body. Hence these ingredients and methods must alleviate vata and balance all three doshas.
3. Massaging whole body with vata balancing herbal oil (ksheerabala oil) is recommended for those who are willing to gain healthy weight.
4. Usage of ayurvedic herbal preparations called Brimhana Rasayanas help to increase healthy body weight.
5. Inclusion of ghee, milk, meat and other nutrient foods in diet helps to increase body weight. These foods must increase kapha and reduce vata.
6. Reducing stress level, sleeping comfortably for long hours and afternoon naps are very essential to increase body mass.
7. Restriction of strenuous physical activities also contributes to weight gain.
