Lose Weight Naturally
with Ayurveda in Rishikesh

This is best answered by your doctor after a consultation, but as a general guide: 14 days is well-suited for guests who are broadly healthy with a manageable weight issue and limited time. 21 days is recommended where there is a hormonal or metabolic condition involved (PCOS, hypothyroidism, insulin resistance) or where the weight has been resistant for several years. 28 days is the programme for anyone who wants the deepest possible transformation — two full treatment cycles, a dedicated Rasayana phase and the most comprehensive home protocol. Book a consultation and your doctor will guide you to the right choice.

Results vary significantly depending on starting weight, body type and the specific metabolic imbalance being treated. Most guests lose 3–7 kg across 14 days, 5–9 kg across 21 days and 6–12 kg across 28 days — but the more important outcome is the metabolic correction that continues working after you leave. We do not guarantee specific weight loss figures, as this is a medical programme, not a cosmetic one.

Yes — these conditions are among the most common reasons guests choose this programme. Ayurvedic treatment is particularly well-suited to hormonally-driven weight gain. Your doctor will review your full medical history, current medications and recent investigations before designing your treatment plan. We ask all guests with medical conditions to book a consultation before confirming their booking.

Udwartana is more vigorous than a relaxation massage — the herbal powder is applied with firm strokes against the hair direction to actively break down fat tissue — but it is not painful. Most guests find it invigorating. If at any point the pressure feels too intense, your therapist adjusts immediately.

The Ayurvedic therapeutic diet is not a starvation protocol. It is a Kapha-reducing diet — warm, cooked, light — that favours specific spices to stimulate Agni. Quantities are adequate. On days involving Virechana preparation, portions are temporarily reduced, but this is carefully managed by your doctor and temporary. Most guests feel satisfied on less food than usual because the Agni is functioning better.

Yes — and we actively recommend this as your first step. Our Ayurvedic doctors offer video consultations for prospective guests worldwide. In a 45-minute session, your doctor will assess your Prakriti (body type), the likely metabolic root cause of your weight issue, any underlying conditions (PCOS, thyroid, insulin resistance), and which programme would be most effective for your situation.
