Background: New world syndrome like obesity is one of the world’s oldest metabolic disorders is heading for the rocks with various reasons like urbanization and modernization. Though obesity and over weight is not affecting much to a person for daily living, the complication of which has become burning issue in the society. Aim and Objective: To assess the efficacy of Shamanoushadi along with Pathya Ahara Vihara. Methods: Guduchi Bhadraadi Kashaya, Hareetaki Churna and Pathya Ahara Vihara. Results: Management of Sthoulya with Pathya Ahara Vihara along with Shamanoushadi was effective in all qualitative and quantitative data. Discussion: The drug possessing Rooksha Guna, Kaphahara property counteracts Sthoulya. Conclusion: Our classics with variety of treatment to individual disease suggest the stages or condition that disease can cross over

The Zaruma-Portovelo mining district in Ecuador, and in particular, Portovelo City, is home to the oldest mining museum in the country. This museum, named Museo Mineralógico Magner Turner (MMMT in Spanish), is a centre that reflects, through its collections, the history and culture of this territory. This work aimed to evaluate the MMMT as a possible geosite by analysing its contributions to the geomining heritage of the Zaruma-Portovelo district, and thus, to enhance it and promote its collections as a geotouristic attraction. The work involved three phases: (i) describing the museum and its surroundings; (ii) a semiquantitative evaluation of the museum using the Brilha method and a geosites assessment model (GAM); and (iii) a qualitative evaluation using the Delphi and SWOT methodologies to define strategies and proposals for museum development. The results obtained by the semiquantitative evaluation of the geosite with the Brilha method reflect high scientific (330/400), educational (380/400) and touristic (365/400) appeal. The applied GAM shows the museum as a geosite with high principal and additional value, placing it in the Z33 field of the global valuation matrix. In addition, the semiquantitative and qualitative evaluation made it possible to describe the importance of the museum and its collections in the development of the area. The study carried out qualified the museum as a mining site with an appropriate valuation, an example of ex-situ geological heritage conservation and a basis for geotourism development.
