Suggest Natural Supplements To Reduce Cholesterol Level

Via a recent CT scan for a hernia, I was advised I had the beginnings of hardening of the arteries. Other than cholesterol around 215 with high HDLs and family history of heart disease (they smoked, were overweight, etc.), I do not have any other risk factors. I eat fairly well, exercise about 3 x/week, never smoked, am out overweight and have low blood pressure. So, I would like to try natural supplements to lower cholesterol. Regardless of medical opinion, I really do not want to take statins just to lower cholesterol. Thanks

hello dear

Thnaks for writing to HCM

I understand your concern, please do not worry.
In Ayurveda we have a lot to offer in form of natural and herbal formulations.

For you I would suggest you take Garlic in raw form4 to 5 cloves daily, prefrably empty stomach.
You can also try this formula-
Take few garlic cloves, chop them, put them in 100ml honey in a glass bottle, keep the mixture airtight for a few days.
Take it in the dosage of 1 tsf BD after 5 days. This shall definetly help.
You can also start YOGA and other excercises to help.
In form of medicine you should start Tablet Abana by Himalayan pharmaceuticals immidiately. You can also purchase Arjun Kwath from Patanjali Ayurvedics which can be taken by mixing 2 tsf of kwath in 1 cup water and 8 cup milk, boil to reduce to 2 cups, filter and take 1 cup morning and one cup evening.

Hope that is sufficient
You can revert back if you face any difficulty in the formulations.

Thanks
