How does Ayurveda approach the management of high cholesterol?

Ayurveda addresses high cholesterol by focusing on lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, and herbal remedies to restore balance in the body. It emphasizes the importance of a diet rich in whole foods, fiber, and healthy fats while reducing processed foods and sugars. Ayurvedic herbs like triphala and guggulu are often recommended for their cholesterol-lowering properties. Additionally, stress management techniques such as yoga and meditation are encouraged to maintain emotional balance and overall health. Consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner alongside your NHS healthcare provider can help create a comprehensive plan for managing high cholesterol effectively.
