Varanasi, Shailesh Asthana: If you are becoming obese due to your busy and irregular routine and are not able to take out time for yoga and exercise, then there is a good news. In an important research, scientists of the Department of Physical Medicine in the Faculty of Ayurveda of the Institute of Medical Sciences of BHU have found a cure for the rapidly increasing obesity in the world. In an experiment conducted on two groups of 82 patients, scientists have succeeded in reducing weight by six to ten kilos in three months

This was possible only by using classical medicines of Ayurveda. The special thing is that far from causing any side effects, these medicines only increased the internal physical strength of the person. Diabetes, hypertension and sugar levels decreased, the amount of bad cholesterol which increases blood pressure decreased and good cholesterol increased. Not only this, the result of evaluation of two parameters physical and psychological out of the four parameters of quality of life of World Health Organization (WHO) i.e. physical, psychological, environmental and social were also found to be encouraging.

The study was conducted for three monthsThis research has been done by MD student Dr. Meenu under the guidance of Associate Professor Dr. Ajay Pandey. Dr. Meenu told that during the research two groups of 82 obese patients aged between 40 to 60 years were formed. One group of 42 patients was given one tablet of Phaltrikadi Ghanvati with 40 ml of Lekhaniya Mahakashaya Kwath three times a day for three months. The second group of 40 patients was given the prescribed dose of Metformin-500 mg, a medicine used in modern medical science, once a day.

Three to four times better results

When the health of the patients of both the groups was tested after three months, the result was surprising. In comparison to the group taking allopathic medicines, the weight of the people taking Ayurvedic medicines decreased by three to four times. Not only this, abdominal obesity and waist circumference also started decreasing.

Improvement seen on every parameterThe group taking Ayurvedic medicine reduced its average weight by 6-10 kg in three months, whereas the group taking allopathic medicine reduced its weight by 2-3 kg. Body mass index (BMI) reduced from 30 to 27 on an average due to Ayurvedic medicine. In allopathic medicine it was 29.7 to 29.5. The abdominal obesity of the people in the first group also reduced from 120 to 114 cm on an average, while Metformin-500 reduced it from 119.9 to 119.6 cm.
