Background: Karshya Roga, a Vata-predominant condition described in Ayurveda, is clinically comparable to undernutrition and emaciation. Impaired digestion and nutrient assimilation result in reduced body mass and functional capacity, posing a significant health burden in developing countries.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Vilepi as a nutritional intervention in patients with Karshya Roga compared to routine dietary management.
Methods: A non-randomized, open-label, double-arm interventional study was conducted on 40 patients. Group A (n=20) received routine dietary management, while Group B (n=20) received Vilepi for 60 days. Subjective parameters and objective anthropometric measurements (body weight, BMI, MUAC) were assessed. Bioanalytical investigations included hemoglobin percentage (Hb%), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and random blood sugar (RBS). Intra-group statistical analysis was performed.
Results: Group B showed highly significant improvement in subjective parameters and anthropometric indices, with a marked reduction in ESR. Changes in Hb% and RBS were not significant.
Conclusion: Vilepi demonstrated superior nutritional and bioanalytical benefits, suggesting its potential role in managing undernutrition and Emaciation.
