Ayurveda, the science of life explains all the concepts to obtain a healthy life. Ideal characteristics and desirable measurements of various parts of the body are mentioned thereby considering those people as prasastha purusha . Variations from these characteristics are not considered ideal and eight such features are explained as nindhya. Athisthoola is one among them which further cause multiple systemic disorders and finally aayu hrasa. Nowa days, sthoulya has become a very common life style disorder due to improper food habits, sedentary life style and change in sleep pattern. The role of medo dhatu in sthoulya is inevitable since the derangement in medo dhatwagni arrests the formation of further dhatus and may even harm the longevity of the individual. Hence proper purification therapy to correct the dhatus and healthy life style is very much essential in sthoulya.
