Brief Summary  

There are various treatment modalities for sthaulya. Both the shodhana therapies and shamana therapies are mentioned for sthaulya. Since, the pathogenesis of sthaulya is due to the vitiation of ‘agni’, ‘vata’ and ‘meda’, the treatment also should be accordingly. It should be vatashamaka, agnisamyakara and medoshoshaka. The treatment is opposite in nature and is very difficult to treat. So, today there is a need to find the drug which is cost effective, easily available and easy to follow. 

One such preparation might be Sthaulyapakarshaniya kwatha which has few ingredients that are easily available. It has been mentioned in Charak Samhita. It has the properties like Aampachana, Medoshoshana and Vata-kaphahar. Lekhana basti which has been praised for its scraping action has also been considered for this research. Their effect at individual as well as combined level can be observed in hope to put an end to obesity. On the light of above, present study has been selected.
