DYSLIPIDEMIA AND MEDOROGA: AN INTEGRATIVE RESEARCH PERSPECTIVE

Dyslipidemia, characterized by abnormal concentrations of lipids in the bloodstream, is a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Ayurveda describes a related metabolic disorder, Medoroga, arising from derangement of Meda Dhatu (fat tissue) and classified among Santarpanajanya Vyadhi (diseases of overnutrition). Both conditions share similarities in etiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, and long-term health consequences. This review explores their integrative relationship to provide a framework for early identification, prevention, and management of lipid disorders.
