AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON FAT ON THIGHS

Fat appears wherever circulation is stagnant. The circulatory system is responsible for carrying dietary fats out of the body and it is often stored in those areas where circulation is slow-moving or sluggish. When excess fat appears on the thighs, this is often a sign of kapha-pitta and can lead to a "pear-shaped" figure. You might also develop vasoconstriction leg conditions such as varicose veins.

To reduce thigh fat, it is important to reinvigorate circulation in this region. Increasing bitter taste through greens like dandelion and kale, heating spices like cinnamon and saffron along with blood purifiers like enhanced turmeric can be an important first step in shedding excess fat around the thighs. Massaging the quadricep region and doing yoga poses such as shoulder stand or even just laying with your legs up against a wall can improve blood flow to this area.
