Malnutrition remains a significant global concern affecting millions of people worldwide. It comprehends various forms: undernutrition, overnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies. In Ayurveda, malnutrition is understood as an imbalance in the body’s doshas (bio-energies) and agni (digestive fire), leading to inadequate nutrition absorption and metabolism. Modern dietary science frequently centers on correcting particular nutrient gaps through the addition of isolated vitamins and minerals. Ayurveda views malnutrition not only from a physical perspective but also considers mental and emotional factors that influence digestion and nutrient assimilation. Ayurveda’s holistic approach to malnutrition focuses on restoring balance to the body’s natural functions, promoting optimal digestion, and ensuring nutrient absorption to support overall health and well-being. It integrates dietary modifications, lifestyle adjustments, herbal remedies, and therapeutic practices to address the root causes of malnutrition and promote sustainable health.
