What Is FH and How Can Ayurveda Help in Managing Familial Hypercholesterolemia Naturally? - #16026
I recently found out that my cholesterol levels are high, and my doctor mentioned that it could be due to FH, or Familial Hypercholesterolemia. I had never heard of FH before, but after researching, I learned that it is a genetic condition that causes high cholesterol from an early age. What I do not understand is how FH is different from regular high cholesterol. If it is genetic, does that mean lifestyle changes will not make a big difference? Or can diet and exercise still help lower cholesterol for people with FH? Since I want to avoid relying on medication for the rest of my life, I am looking for Ayurvedic ways to manage FH naturally. Are there herbs, like Arjuna or garlic, that can help lower LDL cholesterol and improve heart health? Does Ayurveda recommend specific detox practices to support liver function and reduce excess cholesterol in the body? Another thing I am curious about is whether stress and sleep quality affect cholesterol levels. Could FH be worsened by poor lifestyle habits, even if it is genetic? If anyone has successfully managed FH using Ayurveda or natural remedies, I would love to know what worked for them.
