Brief Summary  

Current study is open labeled, two arms, randomized controlled clinical trial.  Purpose of the Study: Recent Population study shows higher prevalence of Dyslipidemia in overall Indian population along with Hypertension and Diabetes. Dyslipidemia an unnoticed clinical entity most of the time detected accidently. It is a need of time to explore natural origin lipid lowering agent with good efficacy. So it is a matter of interest to evaluate the effect of Erand Moola in management of Dyslipidemia. Complex or combined treatment modalities are effective in management but it is difficult or expensive for patient to follow or perform for long period of time. On the contrary compliance is best for natural origin lipid lowering agent which is cost effective, handy and free from side effects in the management of dyslipidemia. Acharya Bhavmishra, in his text Bhavprakash mentioned the use of Eranda moola along with honey in Sthoulya and pharmacological study also proved its lipid lowering properties. But still there is no clinical trial reported regarding the lipid lowering activity of Eranda moola. Hence it is decided to evaluate the effect of Eranda Moola as a lipid lowering agent in the management of dyslipidemia.

Erand Moola is used in Ayurveda for Paachak, Shothghna,VataKaphaghna and Vrishya properties since ancient time. Drug Safety and Toxicity study also established its safe use. Hence it’s ethical to use Eranda moola in the management of Dyslipidemia.
