Abstract
The Disease Sthaulya has been mentioned since the vedic period by numerous authors. It is also one of the Kapha Nanatmaja Vyadhis and Meda Dhatu dusti along with Mandagni are stated to be the root cause. The causes, sign and symptoms along with its management are directly correlated to Obesity Syndrome in the present era. Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have a negative effect on health and it is commonly termed as BMI (Body mass Index) of 30 kg/m2 or higher. Worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980. Due to its increased global prevalence a term GLOBESITY is being coined. It is one of the leading preventable causes of death worldwide. There are several lipolytic and hunger suppressive therapies available in modern medicine, still due to their allied complications & side effects on overall health, search for an alternative medicine is the need of the day which should be not only cost effective but also have fewer side effects. Keeping in view of the above points a clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of an indigenous compound drug in the proper management of Sthaulya (Obesity Syndrome). The poly herbal compound drug was composed of Trikatu, Triphala and Guggulu in 1:2:3 proportions. Trial was conducted on 40 patients and the effect was compared before and after the treatment. Result was found to be encouraging.
