Sthaulya Roga Chikitsa/Treatment for obesity in Ayurveda

Introduction:

Sthaulya is the condition in which vitiation of Meda Dhaatu occurs and increases in the amount. Sus`hruta explained Sthaulya as Rasa Nimittaja where Charakamentioned it as Medo Dusht`ijanya Vyaadhi. It is further explained as Medoroga in later Classics like Maadhava Nidaana. Sthaulya is stated to be worse than Kaars`hyato treat because of Viruddhopakrama.

 

Saamaanya Chikitsaa:

  • Utpattihetu Parihaara : – The factors which are responsible for Sthaulya are to be avoided.
  • Guru + Apatarpan`a Dravya Upayoga : – The medicines as well as food should possess the properties Guru and Apatarpan`a. Guru Dravya helps in treating Agniwhile at the same time due to Apatarpan`a property it reduces excessive Meda (Agnim Yaapayati, Medo Hanti ).

 

  • The medicines, diet and all the measures which are Vaatghna, Kaphaghna and Medohara should be used. Basti with drugs having Teekshn`a and Rookshaproperties, Lekhana Basti and Rooksha Udvartana should be administered.
  • (C.Su.21/21)

 

  • Following Vihaara_s should be adopted for Sthaulya treatment Prajaagaran`a, Vyaayaama, Vyavaaya, Chintaa. All these Vihaara should be adopted and their intensity should be increased gradually. (C.Su.21/28)
