简要总结
Obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. In Ayurveda Obesity is mentioned as Sthoulya Roga. It is classified as a metabolic condition under the category of Medoroga which is caused by a malfunctioning of Medadhatvagni. In the Astoninditiya Adhyaya of Charaka Samhita, Acharya gives the definition of Sthoulya "medomam-saativrudhatwat chalasphik-udarastana Ayatha-upachayanutsaha sthaulya-itiuchyate". The world is looking to Ayurveda for a successful management strategy and obesity prevention. Because allopathic treatment of obesity such as bariatric surgery is expensive and medications have various side effects. Through certain dietary and lifestyle modifications, ayurveda has placed a strong focus on all-encompassing strategies that help people lose extra weight and maintaining it off. To help us control the condition, numerous theories and treatments have been proposed. The present study is conducted to compile the available information regarding Sthoulya, in classical literature of Ayurveda and to validate the statement of Acharyas. So here also an attempt has been made to evaluate the efficacy of Brihat Vridhadaruksama Churna with Anupana of Kanji in Sthoulya which is a Shamana Chikitsa. With limited adoption of the first line of treatment in the form of moderate exercise and dietary measures is oriented to suit the people with reasonable time and money.
