Sthaulya · Medo-roga · സ്ഥൗല്യം
Classical texts describe Sthaulya as accumulation of meda-dhatu (fat tissue) due to Kapha aggravation, weak Agni (digestive fire), and sedentary lifestyle. Charaka Samhita lists 8 Nindita Purusha (the obese being one of the 8 unhealthy types) and outlines specific risks: shortened lifespan, diabetes, joint disease, fatigue. The Kerala approach combines internal Lekhana herbs with external Udvartana (medicated powder massage) and graded Vyayama (exercise).
Udvartana (Kolakulathadi Choornam massage) is the signature Kerala Lekhana therapy — daily for 14–21 days, mobilises subcutaneous fat. Combined with Virechana Panchakarma to clear Kapha-Medas, dosha-typed diet, and progressive Yoga. Weight loss is gradual (2–4 kg/month) but sustained, with measurable improvement in lipid profile + insulin sensitivity.
Always prescribed and monitored by a verified BAMS doctor. Self-medication, particularly with Rasaushadhis (mineral preparations), can cause harm.

Patient outcomes for Weight Loss & Obesity are highly individual. Patterns of dosha-imbalance, duration of disease, and existing co-morbidities determine the right protocol — which is why every plan on AyurConnect is doctor-prescribed, never self-administered.
Match with a verified Kerala-trained BAMS specialist. Video consultation, classical prescriptions, and ongoing care — without leaving Abu Dhabi.
