Home Remedies for Underweight
Underweight treatment using Musk Melon
Musk melon is one of the most effective home remedies for thinness. If the melon
cure is properly carried out, a rapid gain in weight can usually be achieved. In
this mode of treatment, only musk melons are taken three times during the day
for forty days or more. In the beginning, only three kilograms of melons are taken
daily for three days. Then the quantity is increased by one kilogram daily till it is
sufficient to appease the hunger. Only the sweet and fresh fruits of the best
variety are used in the treatment.
Underweight treatment using Mango-Milk Cure
The mango-milk cure is also an ideal treatment for thinness. For this mode of
treatment, ripe and sweet mangoes should always be selected. They should be
taken thrice a day-morning, afternoon, and evening. Two medium sized mangoes
should be taken first and then followed by a glass of milk. Mango is rich in sugar
but deficient in protein. On the other hand, milk is rich in protein but deficient in
sugar. The deficiency of one is made up by the other. Mango thus combines very
well with milk and an exclusive mango-milk diet taken for at least one month, will
lead to improvement in health and vigour and gain in weight
Underweight treatment using Milk Cure
An exclusive milk diet for rapid gain of weight has been advocated by some
nature cure practitioners. At the beginning of this mode of treatment, the patient
should fast for three days on warm water and lime juice so as to cleanse the
system. Thereafter, he should have a glass of milk every two hours from 8 a.m.
to 8 p.m. on the first day, a glass every hour and half the next day, and a glass
every hour the third day. Then the quantity of milk should be gradually increased
so as to take a glass every half an hour from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., if such a quantity
can be tolerated fairly comfortably
