The Conceptual Study on Medoroga

— When all the Dhatus in the body are at their optimum levels, each of them contribute towards the Health of the body. But when there is vikruti in any of the Dhatus, whether it is Pramanataha or Gunataha, then it surely affects both the body and the mind. Medoroga is one of the best example of disease caused due to pramanataha vruddhi and Gunataha vruddhi of the dhatu. Medas is mentioned as one among the saptha dushya and is considered as prime dushya in context of different diseases like- Prameha, Medoroga, Sthaulya etc. Abnormal accumulation of Meda dhatu in body is known as Medo dushti. Medo dushti includes several Medo vikara, which are collectively known as Medoroga. Sthaulya can be included under Santarpanajanya vyadhi as “Medo roga”. Medoroga is mainly due to imbalance of energy; intake is greater than output. In the context of Medoroga, „Madhukosha‟ mentions sneha as the factor from which meda is formed. All the Dhatu nourish mainly by Sneha. Excess intake of sneha dravya leads to excess deposition of medas in the body. It is a condition caused by derrangement of Agni, leads to Amarasa, there is Medodhatvagnimandya leading to improper and excess formation of medo dhatu.
