Abstract

Medoroga is a disorder of Medovaha strotas as per Ayurvedic concept characterised by deposition of Meda at the site of Sphika (buttocks), Udara (abdomen), Stana (breast) and all over body. The associated symptoms like kshudraswasa (dyspnoea), Trishna (thirst), Nidra (sleep), Angasada (malaise), Kshudha (hunger), Sweda (sweating), Daurgandhya (foul smelling), Alpa prana (decreased immunity) and Alpa maithuna (decreased libido) etc. are also found in this condition. As per modern concept, it can be correlated with Hyperlipidemia. It is a disorder of lipoprotein metabolism, including lipoprotein overproduction.It is manifested by elevation of the total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and the triglyceride concentrations, in the blood. It is the key risk factor for most of the life threatening non communicable diseases like cardio vascular disease, diabetes, hypertension etc. Since synthetic drugs have been shown to have side effect, clinical importance of ayurvedic drugs in the treatment of Hyperlipidemia has received considerable attention in recent years. Chavyadi Churna is described as Medohara i.e. Anti-hyperlipidemic drugs in Ayurvedic classics due its content of drugs having property of katu and kashaya rasa, ushna virya, katu vipaka.
