A critical review of Pathya Apathya in Dyslipidemia

Abstract

According to Ayurveda, dyslipidemia and Medoroga are connected. Medoroga is a disease brought on by Medovridhi, which in turn prevents other Dhatus from receiving enough food. The major cause of the linked conditions Medoroga, Prameha, and Sthaulya is a vitiated Medo Dhatu. Thus, the management of these disorders is likewise comparable. Rukshana, Udvartana, Ruksha-Ushna Basti, Virechana, and Shamana Prayogas like Guggulu, Shilajithu, Guduchi, etc. are all used in Ayurvedic medicine to treat Medoroga. A condition of lipoprotein metabolism known as dyslipidemia can cause either an excess or a shortage of lipoproteins, or perhaps both. Atherosclerosis is a result of elevated amounts of atherogenic lipoproteins, mostly LDL but also IDL. This may then result in peripheral vascular disease (PVD), cerebral vascular disease (CVD), coronary artery disease (CAD), etc. According to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) monitoring study, dyslipidemia is more common in young male industrial workers (62%) than it is in adults between the ages of 15 and 64. Dyslipidemia goes unnoticed and untreated until a problem, such as a myocardial infarction brought on by early atherosclerosis, occurs.
