Reference:
C. Su. 21/20-21, S. Su.15/32, A. H. Su.14/21, A. H. Su.14/ 36, N.R. Medoroga

Introduction:
स्थौल्य is the condition in which vitiation of Meda Dhaatu occurs and increases in the amount. Sus`hruta explained स्थौल्य as Rasa Nimittaja where Charaka mentioned it as Medo Dusht`ijanya Vyaadhi. It is further explained as Medoroga in later Classics like Maadhava Nidaana. स्थौल्य is stated to be worse than Kaars`hya to treat because of Viruddhopakrama.

Saamaanya Chikitsaa:

• Utpattihetu Parihaara : – The factors which are responsible for स्थौल्य are to be avoided.
• Guru + Apatarpan`a Dravya Upayoga : – The medicines as well as food should possess the properties Guru and Apatarpan`a. Guru Dravya helps in treating Agni while at the same time due to Apatarpan`a property it reduces excessive Meda (Agnim Yaapayati, Medo Hanti ).

• The medicines, diet and all the measures which are Vaatghna, Kaphaghna and Medohara should be used. Basti with drugs having Teekshn`a and Rooksha properties, Lekhana Basti and Rooksha Udvartana should be administered.
• (C.Su.21/21)

• Following Vihaara_s should be adopted for स्थौल्य treatment Prajaagaran`a, Vyaayaama, Vyavaaya, Chintaa. All these Vihaara should be adopted and their intensity should be increased gradually. (C.Su.21/28)

• The drugs having Virookshan`a and Chchhedana properties are indicated in स्थौल्य treatment.
