ABSTRACT

Hyperlipidemia, a metabolic disorder marked by elevated serum cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). While conventional pharmacological treatments, such as statins and fibrates, effectively reduce lipid levels, they are often accompanied by adverse effects like myopathy, liver dysfunction, and gastrointestinal distress. This has led to a growing interest in alternative therapeutic approaches, including Ayurveda, which emphasizes holistic and natural interventions. This article presents a clinical case demonstrating the efficacy of Ayurvedic herbs—Amalaki (Emblica officinalis) and Lashuna (Allium sativum)—in managing hyperlipidemia. The patient, diagnosed with dyslipidemia, showed a significant reduction in lipid levels after the administration of these herbal supplements. The study highlights the potential of Amalaki and Lashuna in modulating lipid metabolism, in alignment with Ayurvedic principles of Medoroga (dyslipidemia) management. These findings underscore the role of traditional medicine as a complementary approach to hyperlipidemia treatment, offering a safer and holistic alternative to modern pharmacotherapy. Further research and clinical trials are needed to validate these results and establish standardized protocols for integrating Ayurvedic interventions into mainstream healthcare.
