Eating Disorders

Children's eating disorders such as picky eating and overeating can be a cause of concern for parents. These issues can affect a child's overall health and well-being. Fortunately, there are various strategies and herbal remedies in Ayurveda and Naturopathy that can help improve appetite and food intake in children.

One common cause of picky eating in children is a lack of appetite. This can be addressed by incorporating certain herbs and spices into their diet. For example, ginger and fennel can stimulate the digestive system and increase hunger. These can be added to meals or consumed as herbal teas.

Overeating, on the other hand, can be a result of emotional or psychological factors. In such cases, it is important to address the underlying causes and provide appropriate support. Ayurvedic herbs like Brahmi and Ashwagandha can help reduce stress and anxiety, which can contribute to overeating.

It is advisable to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic Naturopath to develop a personalized treatment plan for your child. They can assess the specific causes and symptoms of the eating disorder and recommend suitable herbal remedies.

In addition to herbal remedies, laboratory tests may be recommended to identify any underlying nutritional deficiencies or imbalances. This can help guide the treatment plan and ensure optimal results.
