Abstract

Nindita Purusha, also known as Ashta Nindita Purusha, are eight human anomalies with unusual physical characteristics. These anomalies are difficult to treat or cannot be treated. Acharya Charak identified eight categories of Nindita Purusha, which are not mentally condemned but physically condemned due to their improper tissue proportions. Ati Deergha and Atihrasva are caused by defects in the mother's diet and activity, while Ati-Loma is associated with hypertrichosis or Werewolf syndrome. Ayurveda explains the creation of Garbha Varna through the fusion of several Panchamahabhuta, which may result in hormonal pigmentation problems. Obesity, also known as Ati Sthoulya, is a disorder of fat tissues resulting in hugeness. The primary external and inherited causes of obesity are bijdosha, which are vitiated in the Etiopathogenesis of obesity. Ayurvedic advice on preventing obesity includes being well-informed about the causes, avoiding rapid weight loss, overconsumption of fatty and high-calorie foods, and consuming low-calorie fruits and vegetables. Ayurvedic approaches to managing obesity include diets and beverages that lower fat and balance kapha and vata, Nema containing hot, ununctous, and sharp medicines, consumption of Amalaki, haritaki, musta, bibhitaka, and guduchi, Takrarishta administration, honey administration, yavaksara, nagara, and vidanga, and barley mixtures.
