Abstract

Hypercholesterolemia is one of the most common risk factors for atherosclerotic disease and cardiovascular diseases. Modern medicine is used to manage hypercholesterolemia, but it is associated with long term adverse effects. Ayurveda is a widely practiced medicinal system in the Indian subcontinent for centuries & is a safer herbal system of treatment.
In present studies Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna) and Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) were evaluated for their cholesterol-reducing activity on discarded non-infectious pooled serum samples. Hence, both Arjuna and Ashwagandha can be used as safer and more effective alternatives for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. The outcomes of the study conducted were encouraging.
