The growing interest in holistic health has led to increased exploration of integrative & alternative medicine approaches in obesity treatment. Complementary therapies, such as acupuncture, herbal supplements, and mind-body practices like yoga and meditation, offer additional strategies for weight management. Some plant-based compounds, including green tea extract and curcumin, have shown potential in modulating metabolism and reducing inflammation. Traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda emphasize individualized dietary plans based on metabolic imbalances. Additionally, stress-reduction techniques help address emotional eating and hormonal disruptions linked to weight gain. While alternative therapies may provide supportive benefits, they are most effective when combined with evidence-based lifestyle modifications and medical interventions for a comprehensive approach to obesity management.
