Dyslipidemia is manifested by the elevation of total cholestrol low density lipoprotein cholestrol triglycerides and a decrease in the high density lipoprotein cholestrol

Dyslipidemia has no specific signs and symptoms

In Ayurveda the concept of Dyslipidemia goes in parallel with Medorogam. Ati Santarpana leads to Kapha Vriddhi;

Dushti of Rasa and Medo Dhathu. Medorogam occurs due to Medo Dhathu Dushti which

causes Medo Dhathvagni Mandhyam. The treatment should aim at Apatarpana, Ama

Pachana, Srotoshodhana and Kapha Medohara Chikitsa which helps in attaining Samyata of

Dosha and Dushya. VachaHaridradi Gana contains Vacha, Musta, Devadaru, Nagara,
