Metabolic syndrome is a multifactorial disease frequently associated with a cluster of pathology, including obesity, impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance, collectively referred to as metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome refers to the co-occurrence of several known cardiovascular risk factors, including insulin resistance, obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, etc. Acc. to the NCEP ATP III definition, metabolic syndrome is present if three or more of the following five criteria MET, waist circumference over 40 inches or 35 inches (woman), BP >130/85 mmHg, fasting TG>150mg/dl, FHDL 100mg/dl. It is a critical feature of hyperglycemia/insulin resistance, visceral obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, etc. According to Ayurveda, bala(strength), Arogya(health), Ayu(longevity), and prana(vitality) are based on Agni. If the functions of Agni are proper, then it leads to Arogya(health), and due to the malfunction of Agni, Ama is formed, which leads to rasa dhatu dusti. The Ayurvedic concept of “Agni, Ama and Santarpanjanya Vyadhi, etc.” and its correlation with metabolic syndrome and their treatment are discussed in this context.
