It is a need of time to explore natural originlipid lowering agent with good efficacy. So it is a matter of interest to evaluate theeffect of Erand Moola in management of Dyslipidemia. Complex or combined treatment modalities areeffective in management but it is difficult or expensive for patient to followor perform for long period of time. On the contrary compliance is best fornatural origin lipid lowering agent which is cost effective, handy and freefrom side effects in the management of dyslipidemia. Acharya Bhavmishra, in histext Bhavprakash mentioned the use of Eranda moola along with honey in Sthoulya and pharmacological study also proved its lipid lowering properties.But still there is no clinical trial reported regarding the lipid loweringactivity of Eranda moola. Hence it is decided to evaluate the effect of ErandaMoola as a lipid lowering agent in the management of dyslipidemia.
