A CONCEPT OF MEDOROGA AND HYPERLIPIDEMIA

*Vd. Mohini Deepak Nagargoje

Abstract

A common metabolic disease called hyperlipidemia is brought on by unusually high blood levels of certain lipids. The human body is made up of seven different kinds of tissues called Dhatu. Among those Dhatus, Meda is essential to preserving Snehatwa, or lubricity. In contemporary science, it can be linked to lipids. Lipids are similar to several elements found in the human body, such as Vasa and Majja. Medo Dhatu is crucial because it contributes to the development of a number of metabolic diseases, such as obesity and diabetes mellitus, which are already referred to in Ayurveda as Sthaulya and Prameha, respectively, and are brought on by an excess of Meda. While some mention hyperlipidemia under the general word Ama, the majority compare it under the heading of Medoroga and some believe it to be Rasagata Snehavriddhi. Therefore, all of these conditions are somewhat alike. Hence, in Ayurveda, Medoroga is associated with hyperlipidemia.
