Brief Summary   Ayurveda defines health as a state of equilibrium of dosha, dhatu, agni, mala, and tranquillity of soul, sense organs, and mind and not the mere absence of disease. The imbalance of dosha, dhatu poshana kriya leads to risk of Sthaulya (Obesity).
In this fast lifestyle, the stress at the workplace and lack of exercise due to technological advancement has given birth to lifestyle disorders. Obesity is one such grave disorder causing potential harm to humanity. Obesity is defined as the abnormal or excessive fat accumulation in the adipose tissues, to the extent that health may be impaired. This may be either due to hypertrophy or hyperplasia of adipocytes or a combination of both.
In Samhita and Nighnatu, Agnimantha (Premna integrifolia Linn.) has been prescribed for treating Sthaulya (Obesity). It possesses Tikta, katu, kashaya, madhur rasa, Laghu and ruksha Guna, Ushna virya, Katu vipaka and is kaphavatshamaka. It possesses the property of Kaphamedonivarana. So, the test drug seems to be rationale for the treatment of Obesity.
