Sthaulya (obesity) is a growing health concern globally, leading to various metabolic, cardiovascular, and lifestyle disorders. In Ayurveda, obesity is primarily linked to an imbalance in Kapha Dosha and impaired Agni (digestive fire), resulting in excessive accumulation of Meda Dhatu (fat tissue). This article explores the efficacy of Triphala Choorna and Tryushana Choorna, two classical Ayurvedic formulations, in managing Sthaulya. Triphala, a combination of Haritaki, Amalaki, and Bibhitaki, is known for its detoxifying, digestive, and rejuvenating properties, promoting fat metabolism and elimination of toxins. Tryushana, made from Pippali, Shunthi, and Maricha, acts as a potent metabolic stimulant, enhancing digestion and fat-burning processes through its thermogenic effects. The synergy of these formulations offers a comprehensive approach to weight management by regulating Agni, reducing Ama (toxins), and balancing fat metabolism. This review provides an in-depth analysis of the pharmacological actions, clinical benefits, and combined efficacy of Triphala and Tryushana Choorna in managing obesity. The findings suggest that these formulations, when used alongside dietary modifications and lifestyle changes, can be effective in reducing excess body fat and improving metabolic health. Further clinical studies are recommended to validate their efficacy in large populations.
