Medohar Vidangadi lauh, is a fat reducing and metabolism enhancing concoction in ayurveda. It works on a concept food is converted into an intermediate substance called "Medas". Then due to wrong metabolic wiring, this medas is turned into fat and stored, instead of being converted into energy. So, even when the proper food is eaten, if the medas is not converted into energy, a person will keep becoming fat and will have no energy. Medohar helps to increase the conversion to energy instead of fat.

In Ayurveda, along with medicines, there is always a certain diet restriction and other lifestyle changes to cure any ailment (Ahaara and Vihaara). With Medohar, it is encouraged to drink warm water, sleep less, not eat curds in the night time (and other fatty foods) and try to stay active for maximum effect of this medicine.
