Ayurvedic management

At VCC AYURVEDA , we provide very effective treatment for  obesity or medo roga.  Our treatments range from  Abhyangam (oil massage) ,Udwarthana(dry powder massage) and Basti(medicated enema). We also administer Panchakarma procedures based on the body constitution of the patient and external factors. It is a consequential ayurvedic detoxification process which helps in eliminating toxins and gut waste from the body.

Management of obesity includes external therapies, internal medication and correction of diet and regimen.  We implement a system of customized treatments which acts on not only reducing or correcting obesity but also help in further prevention. It is done by improving the metabolism such that whatever the patient eats does not get accumulated in the body but it assimilates and gets converted into energy rather than getting converted into fat deposits.
