  • Abstract:
  • Obesity, a global health concern, is a major risk factor for chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and metabolic syndrome. Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, offers a holistic approach to managing obesity through the principles of Pathya (wholesome diet and lifestyle) and Apathya (unwholesome diet and lifestyle). This study explores the Ayurvedic perspective on obesity, its pathophysiology, and the role of Pathya-Apathya in its prevention and management. By integrating classical Ayurvedic references, including shlokas from Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridaya, with modern scientific evidence, this article provides a comprehensive understanding of obesity management through Ayurveda.
