Abstract
Introduction - Metabolic syndrome is a rapidly emerging disease related to sedentary lifestyle and faulty dietary habits. The major features of metabolic syndrome include central obesity, raised triglycerides, low levels of High-density lipoprotein (HDL), hyperglycemia and hypertension. These abnormalities confer increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus. Prevalence of metabolic syndrome has increased promptly in India as well as world-wide since last couple of decades. Materials and Methods - In present case study, Ayurveda formulation i.e. Tablet M-LIV, Phalatrikadi kwatha and M-Sarpagandha mishran vati were given to a diagnosed patient of obesity, diabetes mellitus type II, hypertension with dyslipidemia i.e. metabolic syndrome for around seven months (232 days). Along with oral medication, dietary and lifestyle modification including regular physical activity were also suggested to the patient.

Results - Apparent improvement in objective parameters like waist circumference (48 to 43 inches), body weight (104 to 95.5 kg ), blood pressure, Body Mass Index (36.8 to 33.7 kg/m2) were reported.
