A therapeutic review on Guduchyadi Yoga in the management of Sthaulya (Obesity)
Abstract
Sushruta has also narrated the etiopathogenesis of Sthaulya Roga based on an endogenous entity being caused due to "Dhatvagni Mandya". According to Acharya Charak, a person having pendulous appearance of Sphika, Udara and Stana due to excess deposition of Meda along with Mamsa Dhatu and having inadequate abnormal distribution of Meda with reduced zeal towards life is called “Atisthula”. The disease Sthaulya originates due to consumption of Kapha Vriddhikara Ahara, Vihara and Manasa Nidana. Guduchyadi Yoga contains Guduchi, Musta encounters Vata and Kapha Dosha by virtue of its Katu, Kashay-Rasa dominance and Ushna-Virya. Katu-Rasa performs Medo-KledopaShoshana action. Sthairya Guna of Madhura Rasa combats Sharira Shaithilya. Ushna-Virya also helps in Kleda and Meda Vilayana action. Katu-Rasa, Ushna-Virya encounters Dhatwagnimandya and potentiates the weakened Dhatwagni and help in Amapachana thereby alleviates Aparipakwa and Ama Dhatu. Ultimately act as Medohar and breaks the Samprapti of Sthaulya.
