Brief Summary

Sthoulya is defined as excessive production of meda dhatu alongwith mamsa dhatu in the body. This excessive production of meda dhatu and mamsa dhatu results a person to malformed body with penduloussphika,udara and stana and having lack of enthusiasm.Sthoulya is not an acute onset disease infact long term Nidana sevana leads to it.frequent and excess intake food which increase the kapha and medo dhatu ,sedentary lifestyle,lack of mental and physical excercise are main causes of sthaulya apart from beeja dosha.Sthaulya in modern parlance is equated with obesity .The key causes of obesity are also same as sthaulya ,increased consumption of energy-dense food high in saturated fats and sugars and reduced physical activity.Obesity and over weight pose a major risk for chronic diseases,includin type-2 diabetes,cardiovascular disease,hypertension and stroke,and certain forms of cancer.Thus,mortality and morbidty rete were high in obese persons as compared to others.According to WHO in 2016,more than 1.9 billion adults worldwide (39%) were overweight,and over 650 million (13%) were obese.The current trajectory of prevalence acceleration would result in almost half of the world’s population being overweight or obese by 2030.Prevelance of obesity in India is 40.3%.Therefore,its high time for world to follow Ayurvedic principles which aims to preserve swatha primarily.Among a large number of dietary strategies described in Ayurvedic classics,for swastha kalabhojanam intake of food at a scheduled time,and not ad libitum,is suggested to be the best strategy to confer good health.Kalabhojanma is described in context of agryasangraha i.e., interventions and materials that are of principal significance for acheiving a particular objective.This clearly implies that assuming that one follows every guidance of Ayurveda to acheive good health,but compromises or ignores just the kalabhojanam,sustainable health span may remain acheivable.Kalabhojanam,therefore,is an indespensable component to confer arogya.Finally,treating sthoulya challenges is a global priority,so kalabhojanam should be considered additional to medicinal approach.A number of herbals and herbo-mineral medicines are described in various ancient text of ayurveda for treating Sthoulya.As per Ashtanga Hridyam has described Triakatu Churna in his treatise for Sthoulya which is having ingredients like Shunthi,Maricha and Pippali.These drugs having Ushna,Laghu,Ruksha Guna and Deepana,Kapha-Vatahara and Sthaoulyahara properties mentioned in literature.
