Background: Medoroga is a condition in which there is an excessive accumulation of Meda  Dhatu in the body. Accumulation of Medo Dhatu in different parts of the body causes blockage of Strotsa which ultimately leads to poor nourishment of other Dhathus. Lack of exercise and Kaphavardhak Ahar Viharar are the two main causes of Medoroga. In modern times, the way of life has changed drastically to quick nourishments and inactive tendencies throughout the world. Because of these factors, the accumulation of Meda Dhatu happens immensely. In Ayurveda, dyslipidemia is considered under Medoroga. Dyslipidemia is an emerging serious health abnormality associated with co-morbidities including CVD that continues to be the leading cause of death worldwide. It is characterized by an increase in cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL levels, and a decrease in HDL levels.

Materials and Methods: The classical texts of Ayurveda and modern medicine, Journals, and Research articles from Google Scholar, Pubmed, etc were selected for the study. Observations and Discussion: The research studies conducted on guggul formulations, Arogyavardhinivati, Triphala, Trikatu, Arjun, and Yava showed significant improvement in lipid levels which may be due to their Katu, Kashaya Rasa, Ushna, Teekshna Guna and Lekhana, Deepana, Pachana properties that help in reducing aggravated Kapha and Meda.
