Hello I understand your concern regarding high cholesterol levels — it’s a very common condition today due to dietary habits, stress, and reduced physical activity. But don’t worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1. Arogyavardhini Vati – 1-0-1 twice daily after food with warm water. (Detoxifies liver, improves metabolism, and regulates lipid profile.)

2. Guggulutiktaka Ghritha – 1 tsp twice daily before meals with warm water. ( Balances Kapha and Meda, helps in reducing LDL and triglycerides.)

3. Medohar Guggul – 2-0-2 after food ( Specifically acts on fat tissue to burn excess cholesterol naturally.)

4. Punarnavadi Kashayam – 2 tablets twice daily after food ( Supports kidney and liver functions, reduces water retention and heaviness.)

✅ DIET MODIFICATION

✅Include Warm, freshly prepared, light and easily digestible food. Barley (Yava), green gram (Moong), red rice, and oats. Fresh fruits like apple, papaya, pomegranate, guava. Vegetables like bottle gourd, ridge gourd, bitter gourd, ash gourd, spinach. Use cow ghee or mustard oil in small quantity instead of refined oils. Garlic, ginger, turmeric, black pepper, and cinnamon – help metabolize fats. Green tea or herbal teas like Triphala tea or Arjun tea daily. Drink warm water throughout the day to clear Ama.

❌Avoid: Deep-fried, oily, and processed food. Cold drinks, sweets, bakery items, cheese, butter, red meat. Daytime sleeping and late-night eating. Excess salt and sugar intake.

✅LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

Perform Brisk walking or Surya Namaskar 30 minutes daily. Practice Pranayama – especially Anulom Vilom and Bhramari for stress control. Abhyanga (Oil massage) once or twice a week with sesame oil to reduce Kapha and stiffness. Avoid stress and anger, as they directly impact cardiac health. Maintain regular sleep schedule (early to bed, early to rise).

✅ HOME REMEDIES

1. Garlic (Lahsun): 1-2 cloves daily in morning on empty stomach helps lower cholesterol.

2. Triphala Powder: 1 tsp at bedtime with lukewarm water – detoxifies liver and intestines.

3. Fenugreek (Methi) Seeds: Soak overnight, drink water and chew seeds next morning.

4. Cinnamon and Honey Mix: ½ tsp cinnamon + 1 tsp honey in warm water every morning.

Your condition is manageable naturally through Ayurvedic detoxification, fat metabolism regulation, and disciplined diet.

Within 3–4 months of regular use of herbs, lifestyle corrections, and stress control, you’ll notice improvement in energy, digestion, and lipid profile.

With consistent Ayurvedic care, it’s completely possible to normalize cholesterol and strengthen your heart naturally.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm regards, Dr. Snehal Vidhate

HELLO,

Based on your details provided

your body is producing or retaining too many unhealthy fats (LDL, VLDL, triglycerides) and not enough healthy fats 9HDL) These extra fats circulate in the blood and slowly get deposited I your arteries- making them narrow and stiff

This can lead to -high blood pressure -fatty liver -heart problems -obesity, fatigue, and sluggish metabolism

In Ayurveda, this condition is mainly due to -Kapha dosha aggravation= causes heaviness, sluggish digestion, fat accumulation -Ama formation (undigested toxic waste)-> blocks channels -Weak meda dhatus agni -> improper fat metabolism

Thus, it’s a kapha- meda pradoshaja vyadhi (disease of fat tissue due to Kapha imbalance)

TREATMENT GOALS -remove ama(toxins) from the system -balance kapha dosha -improper meda dhatus agni (fat metabolism) -cleanse channels (srotas Shodhana) -protect heart and liver -rejuvinates tissue to prevent recurrence

INTERNAL TREATMENT

1) TRIPHALA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3 months =burns excess fat, detoxifies channels, improves digestion

2) MEDOHARA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3 months =specifically reduces meda (fat tissues), balances kapha

3) ARJUNA KSHEER PAK (Arjuna powder boiled in milk)= 100 ml once daily in morning for 3 months =strengthens heart, lowers LDL, acts as natural strain

4) PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 2 months =improves liver metabolism and removes water retention

5) LASUNADI VATI= 2 tab morning empty stomach =lowers LDL and triglycerides naturally

6) TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water after meals for 2 months =enhances digestion, burns fat, removes ama

7) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime =regulates bowel, detoxifies, and balances metabolism

HOME REMEDIES

1) GARLIC -eat 1-2 raw cloves daily morning- reduces LDL and tryglycerides

2) FENUGREEK -soak 1 tsp seeds overnight; drink water and chew seeds in morning. Helps regulates cholestrol and sugar

3) TRIPHALA - as said above

4) CINNAMON AND HONEY -1/2 tsp cinnamon + 1 tsp honey in warm water- improves HDL and burns fat

5) HALDI DOODH at night- improves liver function and detoxification

6) LEMON WATER -drink warm water with lemon in morning- helps kapha balance and fat metabolism

DIET -barley, millet, horse garam -old rice , moong dal -garlic, ginger, black pepper, turmeric -bitter vegetables- bitter gourd, bottle gourd, drumstick - fruits like amla, apple, pomegranate -small quantity of cow’s ghee- helps proper fat metabolism -warm water throughout the day

AVOID -fried, oily, and junk foods -sweets, pastries, chocolates -red meat, egg yolk, processed cheese -white rice, potatoes, and refined flour -alcohol, cold drinks, and curd especially at night

LIFESTYLE 1) DAILY EXERCISE -brisk walk, cycling, or swimming for at least 40-45 min daily. Avoid daytime sleeping- it increases kapha

2) STRESS MANAGEMENT -stress raises cholestrol. practice meditation, chanting, or deep breathing

3) SLEEP -7 hours of proper sleep is ideal- avoid late night eating or sleeping after meals

4) AVOID SEDENTARY HABITS -long sitting periods should be broken with short walks

YOGA ASANAS -ardha matsyendrasana= improves liver function -paschimottanasana= enhances digestion -dhanurasana= activates fat metabolism -pawanmuktasana= relieves bloating and improves circulation -surya namaskar= excellent full body fat burner

PRANAYAM -kapalbhati= 3 rounds of 60 strokes- burns fat, detoxifies -anulom vilom= balances doshas - bhastrika= energizes metabolism - bhramari= reduces stress and anxiety

Improvement usually seen in 6-8 weeks, but full normalisation may take 3-6 months depending on diet and discipline

High cholestrol is fully manageable through Ayurveda when addressed early Medicines alone are not enough- the real cure lies in correcting digestion, detoxifying the body, and changing lifestyle permanently

If you follow -proper diet -healthy habits -medications

Then your cholesterol, weight, energy, and overall well-being will improve naturally and safely without side effects

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

To address raised cholesterol and triglycerides levels, Ayurveda offers a holistic approach centering on diet, lifestyle, and natural remedies. Focusing initially on diet, incorporate more fiber-rich foods such as whole grains and vegetables, which aid in lowering cholesterol. Including healthy fats from seeds and nuts like flaxseed, almonds can be beneficial. Limit intake of saturated fats; avoid fried food, processed meats and high-fat dairy products.

Engage in regular physical activities like brisk walking, yoga or cycling for at least 30 minutes a day—this helps to manage weight and improve circulation. Additionally, practices like pranayama, particularly kapalabhati and anulom vilom, are effective in balancing lipids and promoting heart health.

Herbs like Guggulu and Arjuna have been historically utilized for heart health and could be helpful in your regimen. However, it’s important to consult with Ayurvedic practitioner before incorporating these, as they should be matched to your unique constitution or Prakriti.

Ensure that you maintain an active lifestyle in accordance with your comfort and capability—overexertion is undesirable in Ayurveda. Pay attention to your stress levels, as high stress affects cholesterol levels. Techniques such as meditation and mindfulness can help, bringing balance to mind, body and spirit.

Handling meals mindfully can further enhance your digestion and metabolism. Implement smaller, more frequent meals promoting healthy digestion. Liquids can provide support as well, choose warm, digestible drinks like herbal teas, avoiding cold and carbonated beverages.

Ideal timings, eat during main mealtimes, avoid late-night snacks as they can impair digestion. Regularly monitor your blood lipid profile under medical guidance. In situations where cholesterol is significantly high or unresponsive to lifestyle changes, seeking urgent medical care is crucial to mitigate risks of cardiovascular complications.
