Abstract

The people know what to eat but they don't know how to eat? Even other medical science are very little aware about dietetic rules. Acharya Charaka has mentioned Aharvidhividhana he dietetic rules and codes of conduct for every season. Now-a-days people do not follow the rules of diet intake and regimen mentioned in Ritucharya. This has invited increased incidence of disease like Amlapitta, Prameha, Rakta Vata, Medoroga etc. In context of Medoroga, Madhukosha mentions Sneha as the factor from which meda is formed. All the Dhatu nourishes mainly by Sneha. So excess intake of fat leads to excess deposition of lipid in the body. Two groups were registered to compare the effectiveness of Navak Guggulu and Arogyavardhini vati in above disease. In group A, out of 30 patients, 6 patients (20.0%) were Effectively cured, 10 patients (33.33 %) had Moderate improvement, 9 (30.0%) patients had mild improvement, while 5 patients (16.7 %) showed insignificant result. In group B, out of 30 patients, 4 patients (13.3 %) got Effectively cured, 11 patients (36.66 %) had Moderate improvement, 9 (30%) patients had mild improvement while 6 patients (20 %) showed insignificant result. It means Navak Guggulu is highly effective remedy for Medoroga (Hyperlipidemia) as compared to Arogyavardhini vati.
