Background: The global prevalence of obesity is escalating due to lifestyle changes characterized by increased intake of high-fat, high-carbohydrate foods coupled with decreased physical activity, particularly evident in rapidly industrializing Asian nations. Ayurveda, describes Sthoulya (obesity) as a disorder involving abnormal increase in meda dhatu (fatty tissue), primarily influenced by imbalances in Kapha, Vata, and Meda (fatty tissue). These insights underscore the potential of Ayurveda in addressing the global burden of obesity while adhering to contextual needs and global standards. This randomized controlled clinical trial investigated the supplementary effects of Pippali when combined with Guduchi Bhadramusta Churna for managing obesity. Materials and method: Fifty participants were divided into two groups: Group A received Pippali with Guduchi Bhadramusta Churna along with Anupana(medium) Madhu(honey), while Group B received Guduchi Bhadramusta Churna with Anupana Madhu alone. Result: Patients were evaluated using both subjective and objective criteria, and outcomes were analysed based on the observed results. Discussion: This study sheds light on the potential synergistic benefits of incorporating Pippali into the treatment regimen of Guduchi Bhadramusta Churna for obesity management, offering valuable insights into Ayurvedic approaches to addressing this widespread health concern.
