Approach to Metabolic Syndrome: Medoroga, Prameha and Sthaulya

Metabolic syndrome is characterized by a cluster of interconnected risk factors, including central obesity, insulin resistance, elevated blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and impaired glucose regulation. In Ayurveda, related clinical features are explored through concepts such as Medoroga (disorders of adipose tissue), Prameha (a group of metabolic and urinary disorders), and Sthaulya (obesity). This perspective emphasizes dietary regulation, physical activity, lifestyle modification, and individualized therapeutic approaches. Understanding these traditional concepts alongside modern diagnostic criteria can support a broader discussion of metabolic health. However, Ayurvedic interventions should be evaluated for scientific evidence, safety, and potential interactions, while established medical assessment and treatment remain essential for reducing cardiovascular and diabetes-related complications.
