Abstract

Ayurveda is the science of life which is based on Adharbhuta Siddhanta that is Basic principles. Many Basic principles are explained in Ayurveda which are helpful for better understanding of Ayurvedic concepts. Among them Dhatu is also having prime importance which is explained in Ayurveda. Now a days Sthoulya has become a very common lifestyle disorder due to improper food habits, sedentary life style and change in sleep pattern. The role of Meda Dhatu in Sthoulya is inevitable since the derangement in Medadhatwagni arrests the formation of further Dhatus and may even harm the longevity of the individual. Hence proper and healthy life style is very much essential in Sthoulya.
