What is Anorexia?

Anorexia is a condition where the natural desire to eat reduces drastically, even if the person feels hungry. In Ayurveda, this is known as Aruchi.
It commonly develops due to:

  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • Stress
  • Wrong eating habits
  • Indigestion
  • Psychological factors

A person may also experience bad taste in the mouth, lack of interest in food, or refusal to swallow food.

Ayurvedic View of Anorexia

In Ayurveda, Anorexia corresponds to Aruchi/Arochak, categorized under:

  • Vataja
  • Pittaja
  • Kaphaja
  • Tridoshaja
  • Mansik dosha vikara (psychological imbalance)

When doshas become imbalanced, they affect the Annavaha Srotas (digestive channel). In chronic cases, the disorder also impacts the Rasavaha Srotas (mind and emotions).

Causes of Anorexia (Ayurvedic View)

While the exact cause may vary, common contributing factors include:

1. Genetic Predisposition
Family history of eating disorders increases the risk.

2. Psychological Factors
People with anxiety, perfectionism, or emotional stress are more prone.

3. Cultural/Social Influence
Societal pressure to remain thin or maintain a certain body image.

4. Associated Medical Conditions
Anorexia may also occur due to conditions like:

  • Fever
  • Tuberculosis
  • Sciatica
  • Chronic digestive issues
