Here we present a case that was successfully treated with Ayurvedic management. A 42 year old female, suffering from dyslipidemia since 1 year, was treated on the line of management of Medovriddhi. Vaitaranabasti in the dose of 400 ml/day for 16 days along with some Ayurvedic oral medicines such as Triphalaguggulu 500 mg twice in a day, Dashmoolkwath 40 ml twice in a day, Panchakolachurna 3 g twice in a day, and Triphalachurna 5 g once in night. Good improvement in lipid profile was found, Hb%, TLC were improved. Lightness in the body, relief in fatigue and bilateral knee joint pain was also reported.
