  • Abstract:
  • —Obesity (Sthaulya) is a major public health problem that predisposes individuals to a spectrum of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Ayurveda views obesity as a disorder of Medo Dhatu and provides a multidimensional treatment approach involving herbal medications, Panchakarma therapies, and diet-lifestyle regulation. This meta-analysis reviews clinical trials from 2000 to 2024 to evaluate the efficacy of Ayurvedic interventions in obesity management. Results show statistically significant improvements in BMI, weight, lipid profile, and waist circumference with minimal adverse effects, supporting Ayurveda's role in integrative weight management.
