Ayurvedic View:

In Ayurveda, anorexia is called as Aruchi. It is caused by an aggravation of Vatta, Pitta and Kapha doshas which leads to psychological factors like fear, anger and stress. This then leads to indigestion of food forming ama toxins in the body. This ama (indigested food) blocks the gastrointestinal channels of the body and affects the sense of taste as well in an individual.
In Ayurveda, it is suggested that food intake should be done when a person feels hungry especially in a clean, comfortable and relaxed environment. This then helps in keeping mind happy and free from any feeling of anger or fear.
