Dyslipidaemia is a condition which comprises several acquired and genetic disorders that cause elevated lipid levels in the body. The elevated lipids may further lead to various health complications such as arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular diseases. A 41-year-old male, non-alcoholic, non-smoking, vegetarian, and self- employed patient reported with abnormally high level of lipids since one year. His Body Mass Index was 27.9 Kg/m2 upon arrival. The patient was assessed on 21/12/2020, 09/01/21 and on 15/01/21 for lipid profile. In spite of suffering from dyslipidaemia, the patient was not having any associated complaints. Therefore, he was prescribed an integrated therapy of yoga, Ayurveda and Naturopathy. The results of present case report showed that the total cholesterol was reduced from 305 mg/dl to 250 mg/dl with Yoga, Ayurveda, and Naturopathy treatment. The patient was not prescribed any concomitant allopathic medications during the treatment period. The case study concluded that combined alternative therapies of yoga, Ayurveda and Naturopathy have helped in substantial reduction of abnormal levels of lipids in a short duration.
