In present era burden of lifestyle disorders are rapidly increasing worldwide. Modernization, development of science and technology lead to more sedentary life style. Obesity or overweight (Sthoulya) is one among the major lifestyle disorder which disturbs physical, mental and social health of an individual. Obesity represents a state of excessive accumulation of body fat. Although similar, the term overweight is defined as an excess of body weight for height. In Ayurveda obesity is described as Sthoulya, which is mentioned under Santarpanajnaya Vyadhi. Lifestyle diseases cannot occur without the participation of Medo dhatu and Kapha dosha. Snehapana includes administration of large quantity of medicated oils for a maximum period of seven days, followed by the bio-purificatory emesis or Vamana n virechana karma,which was given according to Koshta and Agni. Samyak Snigdha Lakshanas which are described in all texts, were assessed using a special scoring pattern and the biochemical parameters also observed. Vatanulomana, Diptagni, Snehodvega, Klama and Adhastat Sneha Darshanam were seen; whereas Angalaghava and Twak Snigdhata were noted in less percentage of persons. There are changes in some biochemical parameters like serum cholesterol, Serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) and fat globules in stool after Snehapana. Snehapana facilitates the softening and loosening of accumulated morbid Doshas(toxins) in the body, making them easier to expel during subsequent detoxification therapies. Considering the high amounts of lipid usage in Snehapana, it becomes essential, to monitor its impact on lipid profile in patients undergoing Vamana or virechna karma for various etiologies.
