A. Add Natural appetizer in diet- Mix mint leaves juice in yogurt. Mix just pinch of black pepper ( it helps in the secretion of gastric juices. During preparation of food for the children, one should always add a little of jeera, pepper, turmeric and pinch of hing(after one year) . These spices help in the secretion of digestive juices. Boil the ajwain (carom seeds) in water .  Give it to  your child and it  will work as an excellent appetite booster.  According to  Ayurveda ghee can be used to increase appetite. Have very small amount of warm soup around meal times to support digestion.
