A study on 150 people with [[rasa]]-[[rakta]]gatasneha (hyperlipidemia) was conducted to support the aforementioned notion. Therapy was done with ruksha (dry) property medications. Finally, considering that hyperlipidemia is caused by an increase in snigdha [[guna]] (unctuous property), it was concluded that ruksha property medications can be used to cure it.
