Dyslipidemia is one of the commonest presentation and major cause for various lifestyle disorders like cardiovascular diseases, pancreatitis, fatty liver, and many other diseases. The prevalence of High Cholesterol is present in 25-30% of Urban and 15-20% in rural subjects in Indian Population [1]. According to Ayurveda, Dyslipidemia is the corresponding output of Medovaha srotodushti. In Ayurveda, the line of treatment for medoroga is shodhana karma (Basti / Virechana chikitsa), Rukshana chikitsa, Udvartana, Shamana chikitsa Nidan parivarjana. Virechana therapy is considered as a purificatory procedure, which improves the functions of the digestive system by the way of intensive purgation. This therapy removes the toxins and waste from the body up to the cellular levels by excessive secretion of digestive juices, enzymes and biles. The Lipid lowering therapy in modern medicine including Statin and Fibrates is well tolerated with less side effects. But, this therapy in most of the cases is used lifelong and adds large financial burden in developing countries like India. A 64 year Female patient presented with complaints of Bharvruddhi (Overweight ), Swedadhikya (Excessive sweating), Angagaurav (Body heavyness), Ubhaya pada daha (Bilateral burning of foot), Katishoola (backache) since 1 year. Dadimashtaka Churna for rukshana, pachana purpose was given before virechana karma. Triphalaghruta was used for Abhyantar Snehapana in the form of accha snehapana. Sarvanga Snehana and Sarvanga Swedan was done with Nirgundi Oil and Nirgundi patra bashpa sweda. Triphala, Trivrutta, Kutaki Kwatha, Aragwadh, Manuka phant and Eranda Sneha was used for Virechana Yoga. On completion of the treatment the significant improvement was seen in Swedadhikya, Ubhayapadadaha,angagaurav, katishoola. The significant improvement was also observed in Lipid Profile. Thus, Virechana karma found effective in the patient of Dyslipidemia.

Traditional medicine (TM) is the earliest culturally-based alternative medicine extensively practised as a primary health care system in developing countries. The current study was designed to make the comparative assessment of TM utilization from three adjacent districts of east Hararghe, Ethiopia using a community-based cross sectional study. Study participants were selected using the systematic random sampling technique method until the required sample size was reached in each district. The majority of the respondents from the three districts were rural households, Muslims, 31 to 40 years old, illiterate, male-headed with seven or more family-sized households and had less than 1000 birr monthly income. The most frequently used homegrown TM remedies were Allium sativum (69.17%, 67.13%, and 68.42%), Capsicum spp (67.14%, 68.43%, and 69.33%), Guizotia arborescens (61.52%, 63.19%, and 59.17%) and Ocimum lamiifolium (59.11%, 61.13%, and 60.19%) in Haramaya, Meta and Kombolcha districts, respectively. Family and friends were the most trusted sources of information in utilizing TM. The highest commonly occurring diseases were diarrhoea, fever, Malaria and common colds. The majority of respondents used TM through the use of traditional healers (THs). Sick people in the community were treated at the serious stage of the illness. Grandmothers/fathers served as THs and they used herbs made in liquid form to treat the sick. The major factor impeding the respondents not to use modern health facilities are inaccessibility and unaffordability of western medicine and culturally accepted TM utilization in primary health care system the districts. Keywords: TM, Homemade remedies, Haramaya, Meta, Kombolcha, east Hararghe, Ethiopia.
