A REVIEW ON ROLE OF MUSTADI KWATHA IN THE MANAGEMENT OF STHAULYA W.S.R. TO OBESITY
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Ayurveda being the life science, always promotes well being and balance. It provides ways of optimizing energy through diet and lifestyle, with specific emphasis on warm, hearty and whole foods and a daily routine. But in current scenario, most of the diseases are result of disturbed and deranged life style and dietary habits. These disorders are categorized in „santarpanajanya’ (overnutritional) and „aptarpanajanya’ (undernutritional) diseases. Sthaulya is one among santarpanajanya disorders. Sthaulya can be compared to obesity in modern parlance. Many theories have been put forward with many new hypotheses describing this disorder in Ayurveda as well as in modern medical science. But still there is enough scope to work out on its etiopathological and management aspect. This is because in modern medical science, its management aspect still remains symptomatic with troublesome side effects. With these many side effects and short term benefits in modern system of medicine, Ayurveda can provide a very good holistic treatment option. One such preparation might be Sthaulyapakarshaniya kwatha which has properties like Aampachana, Medoshoshana and Vata-kaphashamana.
