Abstract
Sthaulya or Obesity is a metabolic disorder and it is common among those people who consume excessive medakara ahar and vihar, lack physical activity, those who experience stress, improper dietary habits etc. W.H.O. now considers obesity to be a global epidemic and a public health problem. The major health consequences associated with obesity are cardiovascular diseases (coronary artery disease), hypertension, type-2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, osteoarthritis etc. Obesity is a chronic disease and its prevalence is increasing day by day in both developed and developing countries. As per Ayurveda, Acharya Charak has counted sthaulya under the eight varieties of impediments which are designated as nindita purusha. In ayurvedic classics herbal and herb-mineral medicine has been described in management of sthualya. A clinical trial of phalatrikadi yoga was done on 30 cases at Kayachikitsa Department, Govt. Ayurvedic College and Hospital, Jalukbari for sthaulya treatment. A single group of patient was advised to take orally phalatrikadi yoga (churn) 3gm twice daily with luke warm water or tila taila for a period of 3 month. During the present clinical study it was observed that phalatrikadi yoga has a significant effect on sthaulya (medaroga) by lowering the elevated lipid profile and reducing weight. No side effects observed during the clinical trial
