Gained Weight. Noticing Hair Fall And Skin Darkening. Suggest Safe Ayurvedic Medicine To Lose Weight?
Hi, I had C section 5 months back. Initially I lost some weight but gained it back. I m now 5'5'' with around 80 kg weight. My tummy looks like I am still 5-6 months pregnant. Also, facing hair fall and skin darkening issues. My overall diet has increased and I am facing hunger pangs too. This is very frustrating.
Not able to exercise due to a baby.
Could you please advise some safe ayurvedic medicine to lose some weight initially which will motivate me to have healthy diet and exercise?

Hi thanks for using HCM.
After C section the tummy takes its own time to get back to normal size. Hair fall, skin colour changes are due to hormonal changes and you will be normal after few months.
Consult your dietician for correct amount of calories and right food since you have to take food for lactation also. Diet and exercise should be optimised for weight reduction and should not depend on drugs. And during lactation prefer not to take any medications without your doctor consultation to loose weight or for any other reason.
The motivation should be for diet and exercise along with proper care of baby and yourself. Hope I answered your question. Wish you good health. take care.
Regards
