To lower total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL, Ayurveda focuses on medo-dhatu correction, agni improvement, and ama reduction. Statin avoidance is possible in mild–moderate dyslipidemia if lifestyle is strict and regular monitoring is done. Ayurvedic treatment and dose Arjuna Churna (Terminalia arjuna) 1 teaspoon, twice daily with warm water after food Guggulu (Yograj Guggulu or Triphala Guggulu) 2 tablets, twice daily after food Punarnava Mandur 1 tablet, twice daily after food Triphala Churna 1 teaspoon at bedtime with warm water Medohar Vati (Baidyanath / Dabur) 2 tablets, twice daily after food Diet (most important factor) Reduce: sugar, maida, fried food, bakery, red meat Avoid: late-night eating, alcohol Prefer: barley, oats, moong dal, vegetables, warm water Daily walking 30–45 minutes

Ayurveda, high cholesterol and triglycerides are commonly linked with Kapha imbalance, weak digestion (Mandagni), and buildup of metabolic toxins (Ama) affecting fat metabolism. The good news is that many people improve their lipid profile naturally with consistent lifestyle and dietary correction. Ayurvedic Approach to Lower Cholesterol Naturally Start daily walking or light exercise for at least 30–45 minutes — this is one of the most effective natural ways to reduce LDL and triglycerides. Avoid fried foods, excess dairy, sugar, bakery items, processed foods, red meat, and late-night eating. Prefer warm, light meals with barley, oats, green vegetables, garlic, ginger, turmeric, flaxseed, and fiber-rich foods. Drink warm water through the day to support digestion and fat metabolism. Maintain good thyroid control, as thyroid imbalance can worsen cholesterol levels. Helpful Ayurvedic Medicines Liposen plus tab - 1 tab twice a day after meal Arjuna – supports heart health and lipid balance Triphala – improves digestion and metabolism Guggulu preparations (like Medohar Guggulu or Triphala Guggulu) – traditionally used for excess fat and cholesterol support Garlic (Lasuna) capsules may help reduce LDL and triglycerides naturally
