EFFECT OF MAHATRIPHALADYA GHRITA SNEHAPANA (INTERNALOLEATION) IN THE MANAGEMENT OF DYSLIPIDEMIA (MEDODUSHTI)-A CASE REPORT

Dyslipidemia is a condition that can lead to various diseases in the future. There is a 1-2% increase in the incidence of coronary heart disease for every 1% increase in cholesterol levels. This condition is considered as a lifestyle metabolic disorder, primarily caused by poor dietary habits, lack of physical activity, and stress. Although Ayurveda does not have a direct reference to Dyslipidemia, its clinical characteristics and etiopathogenesis is imply that it can be classified under the broad categories of Santarpanjanyavyadhi, Medopradoshaja Vikara, Medodushti, and Medosrotodusti. The aim of this study was to treat Dyslipidemia using Shamana Snehapana. Lipid profile was selected as criteria for the assessment of Dyslipidemia. Mahatriphaladya Ghrita was chosen for Shamana Snehapana as its ingredients have hypolipidemic qualities. A 40 years old female patient reported in Panchakarma OPD with increase in serum cholesterol level, serum triglycerides level and serum LDL level. She was administered with Mahatriphaladya Ghrita Snehapana (internal oleation) for 14 days with a gap of 3 days after 7 days of Snehapana and shows significant improvement in Serum cholesterol level and LDL level. This improvement can be due to the correction of Agni by Snehpana and improved liver function. Therefore, this study concludes that Shamana Snehapana is safe and efficient for use in the treatment of Dyslipidemia.
