Brief Summary

*Medodushti* (Dyslipidemia) which is a potential signal for unrecognized comorbidities such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular disease etc. It may be manifested by elevation of the total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) and triglyceride (TGL) concentrations and decrease in the good high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentration in the blood. *Hridroga* (Cardiovascular Disease) is the leading cause of death, decreased quality of life and medical cost in india. most *Hridroga* (Cardiovascular Disease) are preventable through a healthy lifestyle and effective treatment of *Medodushti* (Dyslipidemia). therapeutic reduction of these lipid fractions is associated with improved outcome. The prevalence of *medodushti* (dyslipidemia) in India is not exactly known as it usually appears as subclinical case without symptoms. For every 1% increase in cholesterol level, there is 1–2% increase in the incidence of coronary heart disease. The data from the US national health examination survey conduct from 1999 to 2000 reported that 25% of adults either had total cholesterol ˃239.4 mg/dl or were taking a lipid lowering medication. According to the National Commission on Macroeconomics and Health, there would be around 62 million patients with coronary artery disease by 2015 in India and of these, 23 million would be patients younger than 40 years of age. Lifestyle modifications should always be a part of the management of dyslipidemia. There are scattered references available in Ayurveda which can be correlated to dyslipidemia. Lipids can be easily correlated to that of Medo Dhatu. Abnormal composition of Meda Dhatu is considered as Meda Dushti.

Trial Ayurvedic medicine (Ayurvedic prepration) in capsule form by Oral route,**2 capsule B.D**. each capsule contains 500 mg ofmedicine.
