a rate of 16 (53.33%) cases out of 30 and there were no patients with heavy physical activity out of 30 reported to the study, indicating the lifestyle factors and obesity as important factors that determine the severity of disease in community.

6. According to the miasmatic evaluation of the 30 cases taken for the study sycosis is presenting maximum predominance in fundamental as well as dominant miasm in 16 (53.33%) cases. Complex miasms like Syco syphilitic expression stands next11 (36.6%) for fundamental miasm, There is no expression from Psoric miasm in fundamental miasm and syphilitic miasm in dominant miasm
7. Evaluation of the serum lipid profile before and after the treatment reveals that there is improvement in 26 cases (86,66%) out of 30 cases
8. All the cases were worked out and the constitutional similimum was selected and patients were observed on follow ups spaced at a gap of 2 weeks duration.
9. Along with the constitutional treatment general management in the form of diet and exercise guidelines were given to the patient .
10. Lycopodium was the leading remedy at the constitutional level, proving the general constitution of the remedy to be predisposed for hyperlipidemia
11. Potency selection was done based on the standardized guidelines in the SCR according to the susceptibility and sensitivity of the patient.200th potency showed maximum prevalance
12. According to the need of the cases some acute remedies were prescribed in between.
13. The various statistical techniques applied proved the efficacy of the treatment.

SUMMARY
This study was conducted on patients with hyperlipidemia.
The objectives of the study were,
1. To study the different types of hyperlipidaemia
2. To assess the role of miasm in hyperlipidaemia and know the effectiveness of constitutional method of treatment which includes the miasmatic background of the individual .
A total of 30 cases were taken for study based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Majority of the cases were aged between 35-45years. Miasmatic evaluation of all the cases revealed sycosis to have maximum predominance as fundamental as well as dominant miasm. Constitutional medicines were given to all the patients and along with that general management guidelines for diet and exercise guidelines were also explained.
Follow up analysis of the patients state was assessed with serum lipid profile.
Lycopodium as constitutional medicine had higher indications. 200th potency showed wider indications. The study reveals that homoeopathic treatment with dietary and exercise guidelines when strictly implemented is the best method of approaching hyperlipidemia
