📊 Introduction: Cholesterol – A Rising Health Crisis
According to the World Health Organization, raised cholesterol is estimated to cause 2.6 million deaths and 29.7 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) annually. In India, a 2022 ICMR study found that more than 25% of adults have abnormal lipid profiles, often undetected until serious complications arise.
While modern medicine manages symptoms, Ayurveda addresses the root causes—restoring digestive fire (Agni), clearing toxins (Ama), and rejuvenating the heart and liver for sustainable cholesterol control.
🔬 Ayurvedic View on High Cholesterol
In Ayurveda, high cholesterol is not viewed as a single disease but as a result of Medo Dhatu imbalance (fat tissue dysfunction), Agni Mandya (weak digestion), and Ama accumulation. Elevated Kapha and Pitta can lead to lipid disorders, clogged arteries, and heart issues.
🔁 Treatment is focused on detoxification, fat metabolism, and restoring dhatu balance.
