It can be included under <em>santarpanjanyavyadhi. </em>Various conditions like S<em>honitabhishyandana</em>, <em>Rasagata SnehaVriddhi</em> (raised plasma lipid levels), <em>Rasaraktagata Snehavriddhi</em> (raised plasma and blood lipid levels), <em>Medovriddhi </em>(elevation of generalized fat), <em>Medoroga</em> (obesity), <em>Aam Medodhatu </em>(abnormal form of adipose tissue) can be correlated with Dyslipidemia due to resemblance of their etiopathogenesis and clinical features. Total 30 patients of dyslipidemia fulfilling the diagnostic criteria were selected and treated with Yavavati 1.5 gm twice a day before meal with lukewarm water for 30 days. In this study it was observed that incidence of<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span><em>Dyslipidemia</em> was more in advanced ages,female gender, middle socioeconomic group individuals having <em>vatapittajaprakruti</em>, <em>madhyamagni</em> and <em>madhyamaakruti</em>. In present study, sedentary lifestyle, day sleep, association of other diseases like hypertension, DM, hypothyroidism and hemiplegia are the main causative factors for Dyslipidemia. <em>Yavavati</em> showed significant improvement in BMI, total cholesterol, S.Triglicerides, S.VLDL and HDL level. This improvement may be due to its <em>ruksha</em>, <em>lekhana</em>, <em>kaphamedahar</em>, <em>agnivadhaka</em> and <em>apatarpana</em> properties of Yavavati. Hence from this study it can be concluded that, <em>Yavavati</em> is effective and can be safely used in the management of Dyslipidemia.</p>}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine}, author={Kakade, Tejas Laxman and Wajpeyi, Sadhana Misar}, year={2020}, month={Jul.}, pages={265–270} }
