In the science of life all the aspects of human being health are clearly mentioned. Due to change in day to day life style, the superiority of human health is falling. Dreadful change in life style has led to disorders like obesity, diabetes. Among these is observed commonly in obesity. Metabolic disorders are discussed in Ayurveda under Sthaulya. Panchakarma the five major procedures of Ayurveda play a role in the management of metabolic disorders. Panchakarma by its Shodhana therapy effect is intended for purification of the body by which the accumulated morbid humours responsible for disease are expelled out to produce an ideal environment for proper functioning of body. However, Sthaulya being Atisthula conditions Panchakarma is not prescribed as a treatment modality. Panchakarma has a major therapy role as promotive, preventive and curative procedure. So there arises a need to practice Panchakarma according to classical in medical situations like Sthaulya so that Panchakarma can be justified as a modality of management in various severe medical conditions in preventive and curative aspects.

Over the past years, advances in the acute pain management have continued, although reports of inadequate pain relief in hospital patients persist. Low-back pain is one of the top five reasons for which patients seek care; it reports for 5% of all visits to primary health care providers, chiropractitioners and physiotherapists. Only conservative treatment is available in modern medicine with much limitation. Many health care professionals are routinely approached for help with low back pain.

This formulation was one of the efforts towards ayurvedic clinical research which was tried and successfully incorporated as an adjuvant procedure in the management of Kati-Shoola. In this clinical study patients got significant improvement and no complications were found during and after the clinical study.
