• Anorexia : Anorexia nervosa is a type of eating disorder in which sufferers are terrified of gaining weight. This could result in significant weight reduction. Anorexia is called as Aruchi in Ayurveda due to an increase in Ama (toxic remains in the body due to improper digestion). This Ama causes anorexia by blocking gastrointestinal pathways. Due to its Amla (sour) flavour and Deepan (appetiser) feature, unripe mango is excellent for treating anorexia. a. Wash and cut 1-2 mangoes (or as needed). c. Eat at least 2-3 hours before meals, ideally in the morning.
• Weight Gain : People who are underweight benefit from eating sweet mango. This is due to the fact that it has a Balya (tonic) property.

Scoop out the pulp and combine it with the same amount of milk as before. c. Drink it first thing in the morning or during the day. d.

• Diarrhea : In Ayurveda, diarrhoea is referred to as Atisar. It is caused by poor nutrition, contaminated water, pollutants, mental tension, and Agnimandya (weak digestive fire). All of these variables contribute to the aggravation of Vata. This worsened Vata draws fluid into the gut from numerous body tissues and mixes it with the excrement. This causes loose, watery bowel movements or diarrhoea. Due to its Kashaya (astringent) quality, mango seed powder helps to retain fluid in the gut and prevent loose motion. a. Take 14 to 12 teaspoon mango seed powder. b. To manage diarrhoea, take it with lukewarm water or honey after eating.

Apply 2-5 drops of mango seed oil to your palms. b. Combine with olive or coconut oil to make a paste. c. Apply once or twice a day to the affected region for rapid wound healing.
• Acne : Kapha aggravation, according to Ayurveda, causes increased sebum production and pore blockage. Both white and blackheads occur as a result of this. Another reason is Pitta aggravation, which results in red papules (bumps) and pus-filled inflammation. The use of mango pulp or leaf juice can assist to reduce sebum production and unclog pores. This is owing to its astringent (Kashya) quality. Because of its Sita (cold) potency, it also lowers inflammation around acne. a. Take a couple of teaspoons of mango pulp. b. Thoroughly mash it and apply to the face. d. Allow it to sit for 4-5 minutes. d. Rinse well under running water. f.
