Background: Sthaulya (obesity) is a metabolic disorder increasing globally many folds in the last few decades with a high rate of complication resulting in high morbidity, mortality and reduced quality of life. We tested Vidangadi yoga with takrarishta, an Ayurvedic medicine for its efficacy in the management of sthaulya. Objective: To study the efficacy of Vidangadi yoga and Takrarishta in the management of Sthaulya. Methods: Total 60 well diagnosed patients of Sthaulya(obesity) presenting with classical symptoms of Sthaulya (obesity) of age group 20-60 years of either sex participated in the study. These were randomly divided into two groups, Group A received vidangadi yoga 5 mg twice before meals with 10 gm of madhu(Honey) & Group B Vidangadi yoga along with takrarishta in the dose of 30ml/day in two divided doses with lukewarm water before meal for 90 days. Assessments were done on grading subjective criteria like Javoparodha, Daurbalya, Daurgandhya, Angagaurav, Swedadhikya, Sr. Lipid profile, T3-T4- TSH, CBC, Urine Routine, BSL- Fasting & PP. Follow up visits were taken every 15 days. Result: Study showed that both the groups showed improvement in most of the variables and were comparable. Improvement were seen in various variables but Vidangadi yoga with Takrarishta showed good result on subjective variables like Javoparodh, Daurbalya, Angagaurav, Kranthan Daurgondhya, Swedadhikya, Kshudhadhikya, Kshudrashwas, Nidradhikya, Trishnadhikya, Gadgadtvam and better result on objective variables like Weight, BMI, Abdominal circumference, Sr. Cholesterol, Sr. Triglyceride, HDL, VLDL level. Conclusion: clinical efficacy of Vidangadi yoga when administered with takrarishta in sthaulya (obesity) found to be more effective when compared with vidangadi alone in most of the variables.
