In Sushruta Samhita it has been declared that Karshya is far better than Sthaulya. Several drugs are available for Karshya in comparison to Sthaulya.

In terms of management here are going to explain the importance of pathya- apathya aahar-vihar along with single drugs which directly involved in balancing dosha and dissolution of meda dhatu. Sthaulya pathya mainly of Katu-tikta-kshaya rasa pradhna, and Katu Vipaka which have just opposite properties of Kapha and meda dhatu, so helps in management of Sthaulya.
