Abstract

Metabolism is the natural process of the body, which is necessary to maintenance of the homeostasis of an individual person. Everybody constitutions are always in the process of metabolism, which is a combination of Anabolism (Construction) and Catabolism (Deterioration). As Agni is prime factor for all the Chayapachayakriya. Medoroga, is one of the Metabolic disease, in which contributing factors are Agni, Ama along with Kaphapradhana Tridosha, Medodhathu. Due to various types of etiological factors, the Agni in the body gets vitiated and Jatharagnimandya occurs. By this Jatharagnimandya, Dhathuparinama will not occur properly. This will lead to Medoroga and further many other Upadravas. To correct these conditions, Ayurveda has many modes of therapies like Samshodhana, Samshamana. By these we can correct the metabolism from the root cause. Here 40 Subjects diagnosed with Medoroga w.s.r. to Hyperlipidemia fulfilling the Inclusion criteria were selected for study and randomly categorized into two groups as Group A and Group B each consisting of 20 subjects.
