Etiology and Mode of action: Any disequilibrium in kapha humor, fat-specific energy, and waste products of adipose tissues (kleda) leads to a dysfunction and excess accumulation of adipose tissue – Obesity. Adipose channels have two origins: the kidneys, adrenals and fat around them (Vrukkas) and the visceral and omental fat (vapavahana). These channels draw the nutritive parts (Medoposhakans),including lipid, from the antedecent flesh (mamsa Dhatwagni) and the transient lipids(Asthayi Meda) and then they are converted into a stored form(Sthayi)of lipid, Adipose-tissue dynamics is a crucial link for the tissue metabolism. Low adipose energy, despite a normal food intake could lead to a steady accumulation of fat (apachith) and obesity. For obese patients, according to the symptoms of Ama, digestive (Dhatwagni deepan) and carminative (pachan) medications, lekhaneeya, Medhoghna and kaphahara medicines are administered.
