Ayurveda, high cholesterol and triglycerides are commonly linked with Kapha imbalance, weak digestion (Mandagni), and buildup of metabolic toxins (Ama) affecting fat metabolism. The good news is that many people improve their lipid profile naturally with consistent lifestyle and dietary correction. Ayurvedic Approach to Lower Cholesterol Naturally Start daily walking or light exercise for at least 30–45 minutes — this is one of the most effective natural ways to reduce LDL and triglycerides. Avoid fried foods, excess dairy, sugar, bakery items, processed foods, red meat, and late-night eating. Prefer warm, light meals with barley, oats, green vegetables, garlic, ginger, turmeric, flaxseed, and fiber-rich foods. Drink warm water through the day to support digestion and fat metabolism. Maintain good thyroid control, as thyroid imbalance can worsen cholesterol levels. Helpful Ayurvedic Medicines Liposen plus tab - 1 tab twice a day after meal Arjuna – supports heart health and lipid balance Triphala – improves digestion and metabolism Guggulu preparations (like Medohar Guggulu or Triphala Guggulu) – traditionally used for excess fat and cholesterol support Garlic (Lasuna) capsules may help reduce LDL and triglycerides naturally
