High Cholesterol
At Rudra Ayurvedic Clinic, we understand high cholesterol not just as a cardiovascular risk, but as a reflection of deep metabolic imbalance.
While Ayurveda does not use the term “cholesterol,” it addresses similar conditions through:
Kapha aggravation – Leading to slow metabolism, heaviness, and lipid buildup
Medo Dhatu Dushti – Disruption in fat tissue metabolism
Ama (toxins) – Accumulation of undigested metabolic waste in tissues and vessels
Early Signs and Ayurvedic Insight
Ayurveda and modern medicine describe cholesterol-related issues differently, but both offer insight into early intervention and holistic care.
Physical Symptoms (As per modern understanding):
- High LDL / Low HDL
- Fatigue or heaviness after meals
- Obesity or weight gain
- Atherosclerosis or plaque buildup
- Poor lipid profile in blood reports
Ayurvedic Observations (Rooted in dosha imbalance):
- Medo dhatu imbalance and Kapha buildup
- Weak Agni (digestive fire) and accumulation of Ama
- Medo Dushti and sluggish metabolism
- Srotorodha (blocked bodily channels due to Kapha)
- Toxin accumulation in Rakta (blood) and Medas (fat)
What does the research say?
Metabolism Booster
Amla (Emblica officinalis) is rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C. It significantly reduces cholesterol and helps raise HDL, promoting healthy fat breakdown and liver function.
Herbal Remedies
Guggulu has shown significant LDL and triglyceride-lowering effects in clinical studies, and is a cornerstone herb in Medo Dushti management.
Cardio care
Arjuna improves cardiac tone, strengthens heart muscles, and helps balance lipid levels while enhancing circulation and oxygenation.
Lifestyle Changes
Ayurvedic combinations of diet changes, yoga, breathing practices, and herbal formulations have shown improvements in lipid panels within 12–16 weeks, according to integrative medicine studies.
