An Over View of Krimighnadi Kashaya in addressing Sthaulya (Obesity)
Abstract
Sthaulya is one of the Santharpanotthajanya Vyadhi and Rasa Nimittaja Vyadhi. Acharya Charaka identified the Atisthula Purusha under Ashta Nindita Purusha, highlighting the severity of its health implications. It is a condition that not only exacerbates numerous health issues independently but also predisposes individuals to a range of complications when coupled with other diseases. Sthaulya in Ayurveda can be paralleled with Obesity in modern science which is a significant health concern in today's era, arising from sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy dietary habits, lack of physical activity, and mental stress. It is a precursor to major health complications, including Hypertension, Osteoarthritis, Coronary Artery Disease, and Diabetes Mellitus, as noted in modern science.
