Abstract

Introduction: A balanced or equilibrium condition of Dosha, Dhatu, Mala, agni and happy state of Atma, indrya, and Mana constitutes Swastha purusha. In this context Dhatu is an essential constituent of the body. During Sapta dhatus, Meda dhatu is the fourth dahtu of the semisolid form and lies in the free space of the muscle tissue, below the skin or a subcutaneous fat. As the saar is used to evaluate the status of the dhatu and satva in the body, the vishuddhameda dhatu expresses itself with certain characters in an individual. On the other side Sthaulya is the disorder of improper Meda dhatu metabolism. Sthaulya is considered as one of the SantarpanjanyaVyadhi with the involvement of mainly Medodhatu and Kaphapradhanatridosh. Excessive accumulation of Kapha and Meda with other factors eventually leads to SthaulyaRoga. Line of treatment for Sthula is Apatarpana and Langhana, which can be done by Shodhana and Shamana Yoga therapy, Vyayam proper dietary and lifestyle modification can play crucial role in prevention of Sthaulya. Acharya Charaka has illustrated that Krishata is better than Sthaulya because when Sthula Purusha affected by disease suffers more due to it as compared to Karshya. Kapha Prakriti persons are more prone to become obese (Sthula).
