Abstract
Hyperlipidemia is a condition in which the levels of lipoproteins [cholesterol, triglycerides (TGs), or both] are raised in the plasma, which can be co-related to raised “Raktagatsneha” (lipids) in the body. Hyperlipidemia is contributed by high fat diet, sedentary lifestyle, etc., These causative factors can be compared to Snigdha, Guru, Picchila Gunasevana, and Chesthadvesha (lack of exercise), which lead to SantarpanjanyaVyadhis (diseases produced by overnutrition) according to Ayurveda. So Apatarpana Chikitsa more specific, “Lekhana” (emaciation/desiccation) is the treatment which can remove abnormally increased Sneha. Basti is indicated in all strotogatvyadhi. Thus lekhan Basti is useful in Raktgatsnehavriddhi (hyperlipidaemia).
