Abstract

^{Background: Dyslipidamia, a metabolic disorder characterized by abnormal lipid levels, poses significant health risks including cardiovascular diseases. While modern medicine offers pharmacological interventions, there is growing interest in integrative approaches that combine ancient wisdom with contemporary medical knowledge. Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine, provides a holistic framework for understanding and managing dyslipidemia. This review explores the Ayurvedic perspective on dyslipidemia, termed Medoroga, focusing on its etiology, pathology, and treatment strategies. 
Material & Methods: Drawing from classical Ayurvedic texts such as Caraka Samhita and Susruta Samhita, along with modern medical concepts, the review elucidates the shared understanding of dyslipidemia across different systems of medicine. Etiological factors (Nidana), signs and symptoms (Rupa), pathogenesis (Samprapti), complications (Upadrava), prognosis (Sadhysadhyata), and treatment principles (Cikitsa) of dyslipidemia according to Ayurvedic principles are outlined. Emphasis is placed on lifestyle modifications, dietary factors, and herbal treatments to restore metabolic balance and alleviate dyslipidemia.
Discussion: Furthermore, the review discusses the classification of dyslipidemia, including primary and secondary forms, and the Fredrickson phenotype classification system, providing a structured framework for understanding the condition. Diagnosis criteria and treatment modalities, including dietary interventions, lifestyle modifications, herbal remedies, and therapeutic procedures like Basti(Enema), and tailored herbal formulations, are also explored.}
