EFFECT OF MARMA CHIKITSA AND PADA AVAGAHA SWEDA IN HYPERLIPIDEMIA: A CASE STUDY

Hyperlipidemia is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, and its management is crucial for maintenance of overall health. This case study presents the therapeutic outcome of a 56-year-old female patient with elevated lipid profile levels treated using Ayurvedic interventions—Marma Chikitsa and Pada Avagaha Sveda for 14 consecutive days. A notable reduction in lipid profile parameters was observed Post-treatment, indicating the potential efficacy of these therapies in lipid modulation. The intervention showed promising results in reducing Total Cholesterol (from 301 to 168.3), Triglycerides (from 337 to 134.0), LDL (from 189 to 96.3), and a slight increase in HDL (from 40 to 45.0).
