Puneet Kumar Garg | Yogeshwar Krishna Pandit

Abstract: The present study conceptually tries to correlate Metabolic Syndrome as per Ayurvedic parlance. The disease Metabolic Syndrome is the combination of three among the four common - Obesity, Diabetes, Hypertension, and Dyslipidemia. On the basic of observation it seems that some defect in the metabolism as well as utilization of lipids gives priority to Obesity and Dyslipidemia in Metabolic Syndrome. In context of Medoroga, Madhukosha mentions sneha as the factor from which meda is formed. All the Dhatu nourish mainly by Sneha. So the excess intake of fats leads to excess deposition of lipid in the body. The disease Medoroga (obesity) is mainly due to imbalance of energy, intake is greater than output.
