The health risks of obesity are a forever growing concern for societies worldwide. Obesity has a negative impact on health and quality of life. From the perspective of both the individual and society, it is therefore essential to identify strategies for managing this problem.

The present Pre and Post experimental study was planned to evaluate the effect of Laghoo shankaprakshalana on lipid profile and anthropometric measurements in obese individuals. METHODS: A total of forty subjects, mean aged (Male 22.33± 1 & female28.87 ± 6.2) were assigned into study after satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
