Abstract

The goal of the current research is to conceptually link meda versus lipid in Ayurveda terms. These lipids may be related to the Medo, Vasa, and Majja Dhatus, which are concerned with the two functional aspects of Dharana (Structural support of the body) and Poshana (Appropriate nutrients of the body). That once the Jatharagni (Digestive fire) is hampered, the Bhutagni and Dhatwagni (Liver and Cellular metabolism) would also be hampered. In instance, when medo dhatwagni (Fat metabolism) is hampered and the homologous nutrients present in poshaka medo dhatu are in excess in circulation, the aforementioned diseases might also be brought on by medo dhatu. These conditions include hyperlipidemia, medoroga (obesity), etc.

Keywords: Meda Dhatu, Hyperlipidaemia, Medoroga.
