Abstract

Dyslipidemia is an abnormality in the circulating plasma lipids due to overproduction or deficiency of lipoproteins or both. It has been recognised as an independent risk factor for the development of Cardio vascular diseases globally. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) surveillance project reported a prevalence of dyslipidemia of 37.5% among adults aged between 15 to 64 years, with an even higher prevalence of dyslipidemia (62%) among young male industrial workers. It remains asymptomatic and undetected until lipid parameters are test to rule out other complication like myocardial infarction, obesity etc.

There is no direct reference for dyslipidemia in Ayurveda. It is correlated with medorogas caused due to improper formation or over nourishment of medo dhatu.  Ayurveda focus on the treatment of correcting agni and ensuring proper nourishment of tissues further normalising the lipid parameters. Treatment modalities include nidana parivarjana, sodhana, samana chiktsa along with wholesome diet.
