How does Ayurveda interpret what is lipid profile test and its results? - #16728

Recently, my doctor advised me to take a lipid profile test after my annual check-up, as my cholesterol levels were a bit concerning last time. I didn’t think much about it until I saw my report. The numbers were confusing—some were within range, but others were either borderline or a little high. I understand that this test measures different types of cholesterol and fats in the blood, but I’m not sure what it actually means for my health. From what I read, the lipid profile test includes total cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol), and triglycerides. My LDL was slightly elevated, and my triglycerides were a bit higher than normal, while my HDL was on the lower side. My doctor mentioned lifestyle changes, but I don’t want to rely only on Western medicine. I have always been interested in Ayurveda and natural healing, so I wanted to ask—how does Ayurveda interpret the results of a lipid profile test? Does Ayurveda view high cholesterol and imbalanced lipids as a sign of certain dosha imbalances? If yes, which dosha is responsible for such issues? Are there specific Ayurvedic treatments or dietary changes that can help manage cholesterol naturally? I’ve heard that ghee is beneficial in Ayurveda, but wouldn’t that worsen cholesterol levels? I also want to know if Ayurvedic herbs like Triphala or Arjuna can help regulate the lipid levels shown in my lipid profile test. Should I follow any specific Panchakarma therapies or detox treatments to bring my cholesterol back to normal? Also, are there any specific foods or spices that work best to balance fats in the blood? I’m trying to take a holistic approach rather than just popping pills for cholesterol management. If anyone has personal experience with Ayurvedic methods for improving lipid profile test results, I would love to know what worked best for you.
