Abstract

First line of treatment for any disease is Nidanasya Parivarjana. Sthaulya Chikitsa-Langhana (fasting), Langhana-Pachana (fasting and digestive drugs) and Doshavasechana (elimination) is considered as the line of treatment in Sthaulya. Sthaulya is a Santarpanottha Vyadhi and is best treated by Apatarpana and Langhana measures, which can be achieved by Shodhana as well as Shamana treatments. In conventional medicine, sedentary life style is the major cause of morbid accumulation of fat in the body leading to metabolic syndrome.
