ABSTRACT

Obesity, or Sthoulya, is a prevalent and rapidly expanding global health issue. The major causes of sthaulya in the present day include changing lifestyles, bad eating habits, lack of physical activity, and an unruly daily routine. According to Ayurveda, Agni, Prakriti, Aahar, and Vihar is crucial for preserving health. In Ayurveda, Sthaulya is the closest clinical entity for obesity. The greatest remedy for this, according to Ayurveda, is Apatarpan, and Sthaulya is Santarpanjanya Vyadhi.[1] Lekhan Karma, one of the treatments for Sthaulya, is a part of apatarpan. Treatment with basti is advised for diseases that are caused by Strotodushti. Thus, one of the finest treatments for sthaulya (obesity) is Lekhan Basti. Aahar's Pathya and Apathya are crucial for preserving health. The usage of guru and Apatarpan Dravyas as a particular regimen for Sthaulya has been emphasized by Aacharya Charak. Without Pathya, therapeutic procedures could be viewed as an unfinished therapy process. Key words: Lekhan Basti, obesity, Medorog, Apathy, Aahar, and Sthaulya
