dc.description.abstract |
Hyperlipidemia can be referred to the elevated levels of total cholesterol, low density
lipoprotein, very low density lipoprotein, triglycerides and low high density lipoprotein in blood.
Hyperlipidemia is a major health problem at present. It is an independent risk factor for ischemic
heart disease, cardiovascular disease and stroke. According to Ayurveda, hyperlipidemia is
caused by imbalance of Agni and increase of Kapha and Medo Dhatu. Musta (Cyperus rotundus)
has the effect of increasing Agni and Kapha Medaghna action. (Cha.Su.21/21-28). Toxicological
studies of Musta have not shown any evidence of its' toxicity. Many studies have been carried
out to nd out the hypolipidemic action of Musta using animals. However, up to date there is no
any clinical evaluation undertaken to identify the effect of Musta powder on hyperlipidemia.
Mental stress found to be a risk factor for hyperlipidemia. Shawasana and Anuloma Viloma
Pranayama are said to be effective in reducing stress. Considering all the above facts Musta
powder and Yoga were selected as an effective treatment in the management of Hyperlipidemia.
The general objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Mustapowder and Yoga in
the management of Hyperlipidemia. It was a randomized, comparative clinical study with 50
selected hyperlipidemic patients from Swasthavritta clinic at Ayurveda Teaching Hospital,
Borella.The patients were randomly divided in to two groups; A and B. In group A , 25 patients
were treated with Musta powder and yoga practice for a period of two months with 01 month
follow up period. In group B,25 patients were treated only with Musta powder. Group A was
moderately effective (P<0.01) in reducing total cholesterol levels and effective in reducing
LDL levels (P< 0.05). There was no any statistically signicant parameter in group B (P value >
0.05) on Lipid Prole. Comparative effect of this study was insignicant at P value > 0.05. |
