Introduction: Dyslipidemia is abnormal levels of low density lipoproteins LDL, VLDL and low levels of HDL. The common causes include genetic factors, poor diet and sedentary life style, excessive alcohol intake, obesity, diabetes, kidney disease, hypothyroidism and certain drugs 1 . According to Ayurveda, it can be categorized under Medovahasroto dushti 2 or Medodhatuagnimandya. Several formulations were utilized for treatment of dyslipidemia. This study is unique by reporting the efficacy of Yavalauhachurna in the treatment of dyslipidemia. Clinical findings: A female patient aged 52 years complained of generalized weakness (daurbalya) associated with excess thirst (ati-pipasa), excess sleep(nidra-aadhikya) and excessive perspiration (atisweda). Laboratory investigations mentioned Hyperlipidemia with increased levels of total serum cholesterol (475.7 mg/dl), serum triglycerides (280.2 mg/dl), serum Low Density Lipoprotein (205.7 mg/dl), serum very Low Density Lipoprotein (89.1 mg/dl) and low High Density Lipoprotein (34.5 mg/dl). Diagnosis: The disease was diagnosed as Medoroga in Ayurveda and

CONFLICT OF INTEREST: NONE DECLARED Evidence based medicine (EBM) is the conscientious, explicit, judicious and reasonable use of modern, best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients. EBM integrates clinical experience and patient values with the best available research information. It is a movement which aims to increase the use of high quality clinical research in clinical decision making. EBM requires new skills of the clinician, including efficient literature-searching, and the application of formal rules of evidence in evaluating the clinical literature. The practice of evidence-based medicine is a process of lifelong, self-directed, problem-based learning in which caring for one’s own patients creates the need for clinically important information about diagnosis, prognosis, therapy and other clinical and health care issues. It is not “cookbook” with recipes, but its good application brings cost-effective and better health care. The key difference between evidence-based medicine and traditional medicine is not that EBM considers the evidence while the latter does not. Both take evidence into account; however, EBM demands better evidence than has traditionally been used. One of the greatest achievements of evidence-based medicine has been the development of systematic reviews and meta-analyses, methods by which researchers identify multiple studies on a topic, separate the best ones and then critically analyze them to come up with a summary of the best available evidence. The EBM-oriented clinicians of tomorrow have three tasks: a) to use evidence summaries in clinical practice; b) to help develop and update selected systematic reviews or evidence-based guidelines in their area of expertise; and c) to enrol patients in studies of treatment, diagnosis and prognosis on which medical practice is based.
