Kleda is one of the important but least explored concepts of Ayurveda. The term Kleda literally means 'dampness/moisture'. Kleda plays an essential role in maintaining the physiology and manifesting diseases when imbalanced. It is the fundamental constituent in the pathogenesis of diseases associated with Pitta and Kapha Dosha. 'Common soil hypothesis' explains regarding the common prevailing substrate which is invariably involved in the manifestation of several Metabolic Disorders. There are several candidates for 'common soil', such as insulin resistance, vascular inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction, possessing oxidative stress and chronic inflammation as centrally participating mechanisms in all stages of diseases. This article presents a complete review on understanding Common soil hypothesis on the grounds of Kleda and Santarpanottha Vyadhi (diseases arising due to over nourishment). This review of the concept of Kleda has been outlined to foreground the necessity of a holistic approach in promotion of health, prevention, and management of variants of Metabolic disorders which sprout from the unified soil of Kleda.
