ABSTRACT

A lipoma is a non-cancerous growth composed of fatty tissue that develops under the skin. These lumps are typically soft, movable, and painless to the touch, with a rubbery or elastic texture rather than a hard consistency. Since they usually don’t cause discomfort, treatment is often unnecessary. In Ayurveda, lipomas are believed to stem from an imbalance in the Vata and Kapha doshas, primarily due to an excess accumulation of Meda Dhatu (fat tissue).[1] Poor digestion, an unhealthy diet, and the buildup of toxins (ama)[2] in the body are thought to contribute to the formation of these fatty deposits, leading to the appearance of lipomas.
