Abstract: Malnutrition continues to pose a significant global health challenge, particularly among children, pregnant women, and the elderly. Ayurveda, with its holistic understanding of the human body and nutrition, provides an insightful framework to combat malnutrition through concepts such as Karshya (emaciation) and Dhatukshaya (tissue depletion). The Ayurvedic approach emphasizes balanced nutrition, optimal digestive function (Agni), and proper tissue formation (Dhatu poshana). This review explores the Ayurvedic understanding of malnutrition in light of Karshya and Dhatukshaya, comparing it with modern nutritional science. The study highlights the preventive, curative, and rejuvenative measures including Ahara, Vihara, Rasayana, and Panchakarma interventions that can contribute effectively to combating malnutrition.
