Ayurvedic Medicine to Reduce Triglycerides - #3375

One of the best things you're doing is already lookin into lifestyle changes. Ayurveda often stresses how critical diet and lifestyle are to maintain balance and health. But about those herbs... both arjuna and guggulu have been traditionally used in Ayurveda to help manage lipid levels. You know, arjuna's pretty cool - it’s known for supporting heart health, and you can take it as a powder or in capsules, maybe about 500 mg once or twice a day after meals. But dude, it's always good to chat with an Ayurveda doc who can evaluate your specific constitution (prakriti) and see how it fits for you. And guess what. Guggulu, especially the Triphala Guggulu formula, is quite effective for metabolically calming those elevated triglycerides. Usually, it's taken about 1 to 2 tablets (250 to 500 mg) after lunch and dinner, but again, doses can vary based on individual needs, so nudge your practitioner for a personal prescription. Now coming to spices, definitely start adding turmeric and cinnamon in your cooking. They’re really potent, turmeric as known as antihyperlipidemic, while cinnamon can assist in stabilizing blood sugar – a potential buddy in reducing triglyceride levels. Try using for instance, half a teaspoon to season your daily meals, or you can even make a soothing tea. Ayurvedic teas, how about decoctions of ginger, fenugreek, or holy basil? These are wonderful pals to your digestion and metabolism. An easy brew - a teaspoon of each, simmered for 10-15 minutes, taken once or twice a day. Result time varies a lot. For some kith and kin, it took about a month to notice marked difference, others may need a few months of consistency. Watch for signs, and touch base with your physician for tracking progresses. As for side effects, if those doses aren’t too heavy, there shouldn’t be bad ones, but keep an eye out for any new symptoms or allergies. Always better to begin low and escalate if you’re doing well. Your steps towards a healthier lifestyle are promising! Keep going, and a bit of patience (seriously, it kinda sounds cliche, but that's how it is), you might see some good results. Go you!
