Dyslipidemia is increasingly prevalent in modern society, primarily resulting from imbalances in lifestyle and dietary habits. Elevated levels of triglycerides, however, are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine, offers holistic approaches to managing lipid imbalances through dietary regulation, herbal formulations. While it may not directly correspond to a specific disease entity in Ayurveda, it is typically associated with Medovaha Srotas Dushti (impairment of the fat channels) and Medo Dhatu Agni Mandhya (reduced digestive fire of the fat tissue), which can be considered as a form of Medoroga (fat-related disorder) in Ayurvedic texts. In the present case study, a 38-year-old male patient presented with symptoms including morning weakness, chest burning, headache, excessive sweating, and difficulty breathing, accompanied by elevated blood pressure. The patient was diagnosed with hypertriglyceridemia and hypertension one month prior (August 2024) and was advised to initiate oral antihyperlipidemic and antihypertensive medications. However, the patient opted to avoid western treatments and instead chose Ayurvedic management. After 15 days of Ayurvedic treatment, the patient reported resolution of symptoms, normalization of lipid profile parameters, and stabilization of blood pressure to normal levels. So Ayurved contribute to regulating triglyceride levels by improving overall metabolism and reducing stress. This paper explores the intersection of modern lipid science and Ayurvedic interventions, highlighting the potential for pure Ayurved approch to managing hypertriglyceridemia.
