For managing cholesterol levels, especially reducing LDL and increasing HDL, Ayurvedic herbs like Arjuna, Guggulu, and Pushkarmool are highly effective. They help regulate cholesterol, improve heart health, and balance lipid levels. Dabur Lipistat is a good option as it contains Guggulu, which is beneficial for lipid metabolism and reducing LDL cholesterol. However, you should consult with your cardiologist before starting any new medication, especially considering your history as a PTCA (Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty) patient.
Other herbs such as Triphala and Garlic can also help manage cholesterol levels naturally. Additionally, including Arjuna capsules or powder can support heart function and help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
To give more personalized advice, could you provide:
What medications are you currently taking for heart health and cholesterol management? What is your current diet and lifestyle like? How often do you get your cholesterol levels checked? Are you experiencing any other symptoms, such as chest pain, fatigue, or shortness of breath? These details will help in providing a more specific and safe Ayurvedic treatment plan for your condition.
You said: Hello I have been suffering from a severe runny nose for 2 years and also for 2 years since scaly scales got into the house and only today, once again reading how to get rid of them, I saw in one of the articles that people may have a reaction to their protein, I would not have thought before. I would like to take an allergy test so that this question disappears, but what kind of test should I take? I didn’t find any scales, woodlice, too, and so on, I found only all sorts of cockroaches, house dust, bedbugs, but that’s not it. Who is more or less close to these scales? answer as ayurveda doctor in paragraph
ChatGPT said: ChatGPT It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction, potentially triggered by environmental allergens, such as scaly creatures or their protein. Persistent runny nose for two years could indicate allergic rhinitis, which is often caused by allergens such as dust mites, mold, or animal dander. In Ayurveda, this is linked to an imbalance in Kapha dosha, which leads to excess mucus production.
To address this issue, an allergy test such as IgE blood test or skin prick test can help identify specific allergens, including dust mites, molds, or other household allergens that may be triggering your symptoms. You might also want to test for insect-related allergens, which include cockroach or dust mite proteins, as these are somewhat related to scales and could be triggering your symptoms.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, herbs like Haridra (Turmeric) and Tulsi (Holy Basil) can help alleviate allergic symptoms. You can also try Nasya therapy (nasal drops), using medicated oils like Anu Taila to help reduce the symptoms of a runny nose. Additionally, strengthening the immune system through regular intake of Chyawanprash and Triphala can help in managing allergic responses.
Could you please share more details about:
Any other symptoms like itching, sneezing, or eye irritation? Your daily routine and exposure to possible allergens? Any treatments or medications you’ve tried so far?

Ah, I see, you’re dealing with some perplexing allergy issues. When you suspect some hidden allergens like scales, which might be less common, it gets tricky, huh? Allergy tests can def help pin this down. Usually, they test for a variety of things, but it’s not like every possible thing out there. If you’re thinking about scales, which are essentially fish, there’s a whole protein thing going on. Testing for fish allergies might be a good starting point cuz the proteins might have some similarities.
And you mentioned cockroaches, house dust—def a lot of hidden allergens lurking around. Dust mites are a common one for nose issues, causing constant dripping. It’s about ruling things out, right? So, prick or patch tests for common allergens like dust mites, mold, or even fish species could be informative. A specialist, I mean, they’d know exactly which test to lean toward, maybe even focusing on specific proteins.
From an Ayurvedic standpoint, balancing the body might also help, specially if you feel pretty clear it’s an allergy. As much as possible, follow a Kapha-reducing diet. Foods that are light, dry, and warm can help—like barley or millet avoids dairy and heavy meats. Spices like ginger and pepper stimulate—good for clearing blockages.
Consider a decoction or tea made from Tulsi or holy basil leaves. It’s believed to support immunity and have antihistamine properties. Easy to find at local health stores, just steep in warm water for about 5 minutes.
In Ayurveda, neti or nasal wash with salt water clears out allergens lodged in the nasal passages. Just a pinch of salt in warm water, done in the morning.
So yeah, I’d say start with those allergy tests, see what you can rule out, and maybe consider tweaking diet and practice Ayurvedic remedies to ease discomfort. You’ll get to the bottom of it eventually, you know?
