EFFICACY OF AYURVEDIC FORMULATIONS IN MANAGEMENT OF MEDODUSHTI WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO DYSLIPIDEMIA: A CASE STUDY

Dyslipidemia means disordered lipids in the blood. We can corelate it with “Medodushti”. Dyslipidemia is characterized by a disorder of lipoprotein metabolism as a result of abnormal production of lipoprotein metabolism as a result of abnormal production of lipoprotein. This condition refers to alteration in plasma cholesterol mainly High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and Triglycerides (TGL). Dyslipidemia is a condition wherein one or more viable levels are elevated like Total Cholesterol above 200 mg/dl or Triglyceride levels above 150 mg/dl or High Density Lipoprotein below 40 mg/dl. Dyslipidemia could be responsible for several morbid conditions like Obesity, Hypertension, Diabetes, Cardiovascular disorders and metabolic syndrome etc. It is believed that abnormal levels of Dyslipidemia may be the primary cause for Atherosclerotic diseases especially Coronary Heart Disease.
