High Cholesterol Treatment with Ayurveda | Punarjanis’ 150-Year Legacy

Ayurvedic Treatment for High Triglycerides & Cholesterol

Cholesterol is an essential fat-like substance that plays a critical role in the body’s cellular structure, digestion, hormone production, and more. However, when its levels exceed the body’s requirements, particularly LDL (low-density lipoprotein), it becomes a health risk, contributing to conditions such as atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes. Ayurveda, the ancient system of medicine rooted in India, offers a time-tested and holistic approach to managing cholesterol by balancing the body’s internal systems, rather than focusing on symptomatic relief alone.

At Punarjanis Life Sciences, we integrate ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern scientific insights to offer natural and effective cholesterol management. Our specialized herbal formulations and signature Arka medicines target high cholesterol and triglycerides, providing a holistic solution for heart health.

Understanding High Cholesterol & Triglycerides in Ayurveda

Cholesterol and triglycerides are essential for various bodily functions, but when their levels exceed normal limits, they increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Ayurveda attributes high cholesterol to an imbalance in the Kapha and Meda (fat) doshas, leading to sluggish metabolism and fat accumulation in arteries.

Why Ayurveda for High Cholesterol & Triglyceride Treatment?

Ayurveda offers a natural, long-term solution by treating the root cause rather than just symptoms. The key benefits include:

• Regulating lipid metabolism naturally
• Detoxifying the body to eliminate excess fats
• Preventing cardiovascular complications
• Strengthening heart function with Ayurvedic herbs

Ayurvedic Approach to High Cholesterol & Triglyceride Treatment

Traditional Ayurveda emphasizes balance and the need to restore the natural equilibrium of the body’s systems to prevent and treat diseases. The treatment for high cholesterol involves:

Strengthening Digestion (JadaraAgni) ›A weak digestive fire, or Agni, leads to the improper digestion of food, causing Ama (toxins) to accumulate, which clogs the arteries and increases cholesterol levels. Ayurveda focuses on reigniting the digestive fire to ensure optimal fat metabolism.

Detoxification ›Various Traditional Ayurvedic treatments aim to remove accumulated toxins from the body. This includes therapies like Virechana (therapeutic purgation), which clears excess Pitta and helps balance lipid levels, and Vasti (medicated enema), which balances Vata and improves digestion.

Balancing Kapha Dosha ›Since Kapha dosha governs fat metabolism, Ayurveda focuses on reducing excess Kapha through specific dietary changes, herbal remedies, and physical activity. Spicy, bitter, and astringent foods are emphasized, while fatty, sugary, and oily foods are reduced.

Herbal Support ›Traditional Ayurveda relies on various herbs and formulations to naturally lower cholesterol levels. These herbs not only help reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) but also improve circulation, support heart health, and reduce oxidative stress.

Traditional Ayurvedic Herbs for Cholesterol Reduction

Several Ayurvedic herbs are highly effective in reducing cholesterol levels and supporting overall health of nervous system:

Guggulu ›Known as a powerful fat-reducing herb, Guggulu is widely used in Ayurveda for lowering LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing HDL (good) cholesterol. It works by scraping excess fat tissue and toxins from the body.

Arjuna ›Arjuna is a potent heart tonic with cardioprotective properties. It helps reduce cholesterol, strengthens the heart muscles, and prevents plaque buildup in the arteries.

Triphala ›A combination of three fruits—Amalaki, Haritaki, and Bibhitaki—Triphala aids digestion, detoxifies the system, and reduces cholesterol levels by eliminating Ama (toxins) from the body.

Fenugreek (Methi) ›Fenugreek seeds are rich in soluble fibre, which binds to cholesterol and helps in its excretion from the body. It also aids in reducing LDL cholesterol and improving overall lipid metabolism.

Turmeric (Curcumin) ›Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It helps in reducing cholesterol levels, improving liver function, and protecting the arteries from damage caused by high cholesterol.

Garlic (Lashuna) ›Garlic is a natural cholesterol-lowering agent that prevents cholesterol deposition in the arteries and enhances blood circulation, thus protecting against cardiovascular diseases.

Arka Medicines for internal Consumption ›150 years old traditional Ayurvedic formulation in the Arka (Distilled) method is for cholesterol management.

Dietary Recommendations for Cholesterol Management

Diet plays a crucial role in balancing the doshas and reducing cholesterol. Punarjanis Life Sciences recommends a Sattvic diet, which promotes foods that are light, easy to digest, and reduce Kapha. Some of our key dietary guidelines include:

Increase fibre intake ›Foods like whole grains, fresh fruits (especially apples and pomegranates), and vegetables help in binding cholesterol and eliminating it from the body.

Include healthy fats ›Opt for natural sources of fat like ghee in moderation, which, according to Ayurveda, aids in improving digestion and metabolism when taken in the right amounts.

Reduce fatty and oily foods ›Minimize consumption of fried and processed foods, which aggravate Kapha and increase cholesterol.

Spices to boost digestion ›Incorporate spices like black pepper, ginger, cinnamon, and coriander into meals to enhance digestion and prevent the accumulation of Ama.

Eat warm, freshlycooked meals ›Cold and heavy foods increase Kapha, so warm, freshly cooked meals are recommended to keep digestion strong and prevent fat accumulation.

Lifestyle Practices to Reduce Cholesterol

Punarjanis Life Sciences emphasizes the importance of a balanced lifestyle in managing cholesterol. Our key recommendations include:

Daily Exercise ›Regular physical activity like walking, yoga, or swimming helps in balancing Kapha, improving circulation, and metabolizing excess fat in the body.

Surya Namaska ›(sun salutations) is especially beneficial for overall cardiovascular health.

Stress Management ›Mental stress can lead to an imbalance of doshas, affecting cholesterol levels. Practices like meditation, pranayama (breathing exercises), and yoga help reduce stress and support heart health.

Adequate Sleep ›Proper rest is essential to maintain a balanced Agni and prevent an aggravation of Kapha. Ayurveda recommends going to bed early and waking up early to sync with the body’s natural circadian rhythms.
