TCM using a combination of dietary modification and Chinese herbs can significantly lower blood lipid levels matching the performance of statin drugs while improving overall health and without side effects.
High cholesterol is a laboratory test result. As such, it is not a disease in and of itself but rather a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Many people have no signs or symptoms of that condition per se. Therefore, there is no one-to-one relationship between between high cholesterol and a single, particular Chinese medical pattern. Nevertheless, Chinese doctors have identified the five or six most commonly presenting Chinese medical patterns in patients with high cholesterol. The fruits of this research now allows the Chinese medical practitioner to prescribe Chinese herbal formulas that work to lower cholesterol levels but do it in a way that is custom tailored to each individual and without side effects. In fact, Chinese medical treatment of high cholesterol not only results in a lowering of LDL and triglycerides but also an improvement in HDL numbers, something that statin drugs do not do.
