There is no definitive treatment for obesity. But in today’s world people have a lot of options to help them loose weight. Diets, slimming clubs, exercise, eating plans are most of the basic techniques used to lose weight. When these options fail then many obese people are referred for surgery. Treatments of obesity come in different shapes and sizes, from diets, low calorie diets, exercise, and slimming drugs.

The best way of treatment of obesity is dieting and increased physical activity. There are many weight loss programs offered by various health clubs.

Ayurveda and homeopathy are also quiet effective approaches for treatment of obesity. According to ayurveda obesity is a disease called Medoroga. Meda means fat and it is one of the seven Dhatu’s produced from food in the human body. The Guggulu is a substance that is used in the medicines required for the treatment of obesity.

Homeopathy on the other hand treats the patient and not the disease. It takes into account the constitution of a person for treatment of diseases. By constitution we mean the physical, emotional and intellectual make up of the person. The patient should have enough patience to take Homeopathic medication otherwise no significant results can be produced.

Another approach that can help in the treatment of obesity is Yoga. Pranayama or breathing techniques and asanas or physical exercises greatly help in the cure of obesity. Meditation also helps in reducing mental stress which generally is a cause for tendency of over-eating. Behavioral therapy is also popular nowadays which proposes to set definite goals and have a reward other than food for achieving those goals. Regular recording of weight and activities is also important to track the weight loss program.
