Loss of appetite
Loss of appetite means you feel less hungry than usual or have little interest in eating. It can be a temporary response to illness or a sign of deeper health issues. Ayurveda considers this a weakening of Agni (digestive fire) and uses appetite-stimulating herbs and dietary practices to restore healthy hunger.
