CURCUMA LONGA Q- Curcuma longa is an excellent remedy for lowering cholesterol levels in blood
.Curcumin, also known as turmeric root, an ancient spice in the ginger family, is gaining attention for its
positive impact on a number of diseases, including cholesterol reduction. Scientific evidence has been
building since the mid-1980s of curcumin’s potential cholesterol-lowering capabilities.

For example, animals fed small doses of curcumin had their cholesterol levels drop by one half (50%)
over those that did not receive curcumin. Curcumin reduces cholesterol by interfering with intestinal
cholesterol uptake, increasing the conversion of cholesterol into bile acids, and increasing the excretion
of bile acids, according to the International Journal of Vitamin Nutritional Research (1991, 61:364-69).

The 1992 Indian Journal of Physiology reported that ten human volunteers taking curcumin showed a
29% increase in beneficial HDL cholesterol in only 7 days. Total cholesterol also fell 11.6% and lipid
peroxidation was reduced by 33%.

In January of 1997, the Journal of Molecular Cell Biochemistry reported curcumin has demonstrated, in
vivo, the ability to decrease total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels in serum and to increase the
beneficial HDL cholesterol. “Blood cholesterol was lowered significantly by dietary curcumin in these
diabetic animals. Significant decrease in blood triglyceride and phospholipids was also brought about by
dietary curcumin in diabetic rats.”

The research has continued and curcumin’s ability to lower blood cholesterol levels was reported in the
April 1998 issue of Molecular Cell Biochemistry, and again, later that year, researchers in Biofactors
(1998, 8:1-2, 51-57) reported that “curcumin extract may be protective in preventing lipoperoxidation of
subcellular membranes.”

Curcumin also provides an additional benefit by potentially reducing the risk of cardiovascular-related
disease as it inhibits platelet aggregation and significantly decreases the level of lipid (LDL) peroxidation.
“Observation of curcumin’s mechanism of action shows that it blocks the formation of thromboxane A2,
a promoter of platelet aggregation, thereby inhibiting abnormal blood clot formation. Curcumin also
increases a prostacyclin, a natural inhibitor of platelet aggregation” (Arzneim. Forsch., 1986, 36:715-17).

Cholesterol Treatment in Homeopathy Medicine

Cholesterol is fundamental for life and occurs naturally in the body. It forms a basic part of all the cells,
helps to digest food and helps to produce hormones and vitamin D. There are two major forms of
cholesterol: (1) Low density lipoprotein (LDL) and (2) High density lipoprotein (HDL). About 80% of
cholesterol is produced in the liver and about 20% comes from food. HDL in the blood is called good
cholesterol because it carries cholesterol to the liver where it is removed from the body. LDL is also
produced in the body. It is called bad cholesterol because it results in fatty deposits which clog up the
arteries so that blood cannot flow properly. It is a normal constituent of bile.

Heart muscles are nourished by oxygen carried through thin vessels called the coronary arteries. If this
circulation is severely reduced or blocked, the muscles quickly become starved of oxygen and cannot
function normally – this is ‘heart attack’. Cholesterol forms thin layers inside the coronary arteries
gradually reducing the inner space, consequently reducing the blood flow. When the arteries become
sufficiently narrow, a blood clot is formed which obstructs the blood flow causing insufficiency of vital
nutrients and oxygen carried by blood. A heart attack, thus follows. To prevent the heart attack, the level
of cholesterol must be lowered. To achieve this, diet restrictions are needed.

Butter, butter oil, meats (except that of a fish), ice creams, cheese and cream, egg yolks, fried articles,
etc. increase the level of cholesterol. Alternative diets are available and should be used. Cholesterol is
usually measured in mill moles in the litre (mmol\l). Reading is taken from the blood taken from the
finger tips. A serum cholesterol of 6.21 mmol\l (240 mg) or above is considered risky and reading over
8.58 mmol\l is dangerous. A reading of 5.17 mmol\l (200 mg) to 6.21 mmol\l (240 mg) is considered as
borderline. A serum cholesterol under 5.2 mmol\l (200 mg) is considered healthy. The lower, the better.
Diet restrictions must be kept in view. Cholesterol in the blood should never be more than 200 mg per
100 cc of blood. The following homeopathic medicines are useful to reduce the level of cholesterol:

Allium sativum Q (Thrice a day) 5-10 drops in ½ cup of water: Acts especially on fleshy subjects who eat a
great deal of meat than they drink. 5 drops a dose, three times a day reduces cholesterol in about a
month. It has been proved that it reduces total serum cholesterol level.

Avena sativa Q (Thrice a day) 5-10 drops in ½ cup of water: Oats reduce blood cholesterol and also help
protecting the rise of glucose levels by slowing down sugar absorption.

Chrysanthemum Q (Twice a day) 20 drops in ½ cup of water: Reduces cholesterol levels and also
eliminates digestive troubles resulting from overeating. 20 drops in a little water two times in a day.

Crataegus oxy. Q (Twice a day) 10 drops in ½ cup of water: It has a solvent power upon crustaceous and
calcareous deposits in the arteries and thus reduces the thickening of the arteries.

Embelica off. Q (Twice a day) (East Indian Amla) 10 drops in ½ cup of water: It is an excellent remedy for
this purpose. It can also be taken as a vegetable or jam, which is prepared from the fruit itself.

Ginseng (Twice a day) 10 drops in ½ cup of water: Reduces cholesterol levels.

Guggul 1x: The extract of the resin of Guggul tree, regulates levels of cholesterol by monitoring levels of
bile acids released by the liver. There is no evidence that it affects metabolism or promotes weight loss.

Lecithinum 12x: Its use breaks down cholesterol and fats in blood allowing them to be stabilized
effectively by cells. It improves nervous health also.

Lycopodium (Thrice a day): It lowers the level of cholesterol in the aorta and liver.

Oenothera bienn. Q (Twice a day) 10 drops in ½ cup of water: It lowers the level of cholesterol in the
aorta and liver.

Sugar cane wax (Thrice a day): Sugar cane wax reduces the bad cholesterol level even when it is a
hereditary problem.

Terminalia arjuna Q, Balerica Q (Twice a day) 10 drops in ½ cup of water: It is also an excellent remedy
for reducing cholesterol.

NOTE 1: In December 1998, The American Journal of Nutrition reported the results of the latest study of
45 participants by Gene Spiller of California, Jenkins of Toronto and a researcher in Verona, Italy. They
said that nuts and almonds are better for lowering the level of bad cholesterol. Nuts contain a high
proportion of mono-unsaturated fats which lower the risk of cardio-vascular diseases. Nuts also contain
vitamin E which reduces the risk of heart disease.

NOTE 2: Soya bean (soya) eating cuts “bad cholesterol” and boosts heart healthy “good cholesterol. ”
Proteins and antioxidants specific to soya have this property.

NOTE 3: Oats reduce blood cholesterol and also help protecting the rise of glucose levels by slowing
down sugar absorption.

NOTE 4: The following chart shows the level of cholesterol desirable and undesirable.
TOTAL CHOLESTEROL:

Below 5.2 mmol/1 Desirable

5.2 – 6.2 mmol/1 Borderline high

Above 6.2 mmol/1 High

LDL CHOLESTEROL:

Below 3.4 mmol/1 Desirable

HDL CHOLESTEROL:

Above 0.9 mmol/1 Desirable

TRIGLYCERIDE:

Below 2.3 mmol/1 Desirable

NOTE 5: High TRIGLYCERIDE levels tend to go hand in hand with being overweight, hypertension, low LDL
levels and diabetes. High TRIGLYCERIDE levels can be lowered by avoiding all forms of sugar (whites,
brown, honey, syrup, and alcohol) Most vegetable and animal fats are TRIGLYCERIDEs.

NOTE 6: Results of studies which appeared in July 2003 in The Journal of American Medical association
indicates that a vegetable diet high in soluble fibre and low in saturated fats lowers the bad choles
