What is Obesity (Sthaulya) in Ayurveda?

In Ayurveda, obesity is known as Sthaulya or Medoroga, a condition caused by the excessive accumulation of fat (Meda Dhatu) due to poor digestion (Agni imbalance) and Kapha dosha aggravation.

This leads to blockage of body channels (srotas), slowing down metabolism and resulting in weight gain and associated health issues.
