Ayurvedic Interventions for Sthoulya (Obesity): A Single-Case Analysis

Author(s) Swathi Ramamurthy, Arpitha C Rao
Country India
Abstract In the present era, the prevalence of lifestyle-related disorders is rapidly on the rise globally. Modernization and the advancement of science and technology have contributed to increasingly sedentary lifestyles. Among these lifestyle disorders, obesity or overweight (Sthoulya) stands out as a significant issue, disrupting individuals' physical, mental, and social well-being. Obesity is characterized by an excessive accumulation of body fat. In Ayurveda, obesity is referred to as Sthoulya, classified under the category of Santarpanajnaya Vyadhi. Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to managing Sthoulya, and Acharya Charaka has recommended the use of Apatarpana Chikitsa for its treatment. The Chikitsa adopted was Deepana-Pachana, followed by Shamana Chikitsa with Classical Ayurveda and Proprietary medication for the duration of 3 and half months with diet and lifestyle advice. After completion of the course of the treatment has shown significant results in reducing weight by about 9 kilograms and reducing the signs and symptoms of Sthoulya. Therefore, the Ayurvedic approach to management delivers gratifying outcomes and proves equally advantageous for both the management and prevention of obesity while promoting overall health.
