Abstract

The increasing occurrence of metabolic syndrome in children and teenagers is alarming due to the potential for  significant long-term health issues. Recognizing and addressing this condition early are essential to avoid permanent  harm. Traditional Ayurvedic perspectives offer valuable insights into this issue. Conditions such as Sthaulya (Obesity), Prameha (Diabetes), Shonita Dusti (Blood Impurity), and Dhamani Pratichaya (Vascular Diseases) share  similarities with metabolic syndrome. These arise from excessive intake and accumulation (Santarpana nidana),  leading to a build-up of Kapha (one of three senses of humor having unctuous property) and Medha (fat), eventually  affecting other Doshas (humor) and multiple tissues. Ayurvedic treatments aim to manage these conditions, as they  tend to be chronic and prone to complications, potentially progressing to Vatavyadhi (neurological disorders) over  time. The interplay of kapha and medha in blocking channels (Margavarana) is a crucial consequence of these  conditions, contributing to the development of vatavyadhi. This review article highlights the importance of early  intervention and traditional Ayurvedic approaches in managing metabolic syndrome-like conditions in children and  adolescents to prevent long-term complications.
