Abstract

Sthoulya, often referred to as obesity in modern terminology, is a complex and multifaceted health issue that has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. This condition, characterized by an excessive accumulation of adipose tissue, is a significant risk factor for numerous chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain types of cancer. Sthoulya is influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, making it a challenging condition to address effectively. This case study explores the impact of Bilvadi kwath, a classical ayurvedic herbal preparation, in the management of Sthoulya (obesity). Obesity is a global health concern, and ayurveda offers holistic remedies. Bilvadi kwath, containing key ingredients such as Bilva (Aegle marmelos) and other herbs, is traditionally indicated for its potential benefits in weight management. This case study presents the outcomes of using Bilvadi kwath as an adjunct therapy in the context of obesity management.
