In recent years, the single herbs used to lower blood lipid are: Zedoary: Clinical and experimental studies on hyperlipidemia in China and Japan have suggested that this medicine has good effect on lowering blood lipid. According to the treatment of 135 cases of hypercholesterolemia and 127 cases of hypertriglyceridemia in Shanghai and Hangzhou, the efficiency rate was 88% and 72% respectively. Experimental studies have shown that Zedoaria can significantly inhibit the formation of atherosclerotic plaque and its blood cholesterol content in rabbits, inhibit the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine of mice and the synthesis of cholesterol in the body, and help the operation and excretion of cholesterol. It has the effect of interfering with the absorption, decomposition and excretion of cholesterol. Hawthorn: Hawthorn has been used abroad for many years in the treatment of hyperlipidemia and coronary heart disease in various preparations made from the genus Hawthorn. In China, it has been proved that the alcohol preparation and total saponin of Hawthorn have hypotensive and hypolipidemic effects on the atherosclerosis of experimental rabbits and can reduce the deposition of lipids. Ganoderma lucidum: Experimental studies have shown that Ganoderma lucidum has a good hypolipidemic effect and can reduce the degree of atherosclerotic plaques and delay their formation in experimental rabbits. In China, Fujian, Beijing, Jiangxi and Nanjing have reported that Ganoderma lucidum tablets and Ganoderma lucidum syrup have the effect of lowering blood cholesterol and triglycerides. Shou Wu: In Shanghai and Xinjiang, 208 cases of hypercholesterolemia were treated with Shou Wu, with an efficiency of 86.7% and 61.8%. This product mainly inhibits intestinal absorption of cholesterol and promotes the transport and removal of cholesterol from plasma. In addition, Shou Wu can promote the cleavage of fibrinogen and delay the occurrence of atherosclerosis. Cassia seeds: It has been reported that cassia seeds decoction and syrup tablets were used to treat 100 cases of hypercholesterolemia, with an overall efficiency of 98%, and the experiment proved that cassia seeds have the effect of inhibiting blood cholesterol elevation and atherosclerotic plaque formation. Its hypolipidemic effect may be related to the fact that cassia seeds contain rehmannia rhododendron and rhodopsin, which promote intestinal tube movement and inhibit cholesterol absorption. Yin Chen: In Tianjin and other places, a total of 104 cases of hypercholesterolemia were treated with Yin Chen as a tea substitute or tablet, and it was found that this product had a significant effect on lowering blood cholesterol. The coumarins contained in Yin Chen have hypolipidemic activity and can reduce serum cholesterol in animals and reduce aortic sclerosis. Tiger cane: Tiger cane contains rhodopsin components, which can reduce excessive exogenous cholesterol into the body. Animal experiments have shown that tiger cane has a significant hypolipidemic effect. Clinical reports of 124 cases of hyperlipidemia treated with tiger wort, its cholesterol-lowering efficiency of 47.1% to 100%, its triglyceride-lowering efficiency of 27.2% to 83.3%. Phellodendron: Animal experiments have shown that Phellodendron can significantly reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine and promote its excretion in the feces, and has the effect of preventing atherosclerosis and reducing serum sterols. Garlic: Garlic essential oil, the active ingredient of garlic, can stop arterial lipid hyperplasia and cholesterol-induced increase in beta-lipoprotein and decrease in alpha-lipoprotein, and also significantly reduce aortic cholesterol content and aortic atherosclerosis. Mung beans and bean diets: Foreign reports of beans lowering blood cholesterol have been published, with mung beans having the greatest effect. Clinical and animal experiments have shown that mung beans have significant lipid-lowering effects. The ability of bean diets to lower blood lipids may be due to the competitive inhibition of exogenous cholesterol absorption and increased excretion of plant cholesterol contained in them. Turmeric: Turmeric can promote bile secretion and its extract can significantly reduce blood cholesterol levels in experimental hyperlipidemic animals. Turmeric alcohol extract, volatile oil and curcumin all have the effect of lowering blood cholesterol, triglycerides and beta lipoprotein, with the most significant effect of lowering triglycerides and lowering cholesterol and triglyceride content in the aorta. 2.Compound formula The compound formula used for lowering blood lipids are: Hawthorn, Sophora japonica, Grass cassia.

Diabetic patients with relative or absolute insulin deficiency resulting in disorders of glucose and lipid metabolism, mostly accompanied by hyperlipidemia, can use the above herbs or compound decoction in the treatment of diabetes to reduce blood lipids and prevent atherosclerosis has a certain effect. What are the herbs for lowering blood lipids 1. Hawthorn: It is called the first medicine for lowering lipids. Fresh hawthorn fruit and leaves contain a variety of flavonoid glycosides, dimeric flavan, polyflavan, etc., with significant lipid-lowering, cardiac, antihypertensive, weight loss effects. 2, He Shou Wu: contains anthraquinones such as rhubarb acid, rhubarbin, rhubarb phenol and aloe rhubarbin, which can promote intestinal peristalsis, reduce cholesterol absorption and accelerate cholesterol excretion, thus playing a role in reducing blood lipids and anti-atherosclerosis. Clinical use of He Shou Wu tablets taken orally, the efficiency of up to 89%. 3, Zedoary: the alcohol extract of Zedoary can interfere with the absorption of cholesterol, thereby reducing cholesterol and triglycerides, clinical choice of Zedoary lipid-lowering tablets. 4, Pu Huang: contains glutathiol, soy sterol, vegetable oil sterol and other plant sterols, can inhibit the intestinal absorption of exogenous cholesterol, so as to reduce the role of blood lipids. But only raw pu huang has a role, the clinical use of pu huang tablets effect is not as good as the raw. 5, baicalin: the main active ingredient is flavonoids. Among them, baicalin, baicalin, baicalin, etc. have a hypolipidemic effect. 6, saffron: the main components of saffron are saffron glycosides, saffron quinone glycosides, new saffron glycosides and saffron xanthin. Take safflower in appropriate amounts as tea, and drink for a month or longer, can significantly reduce the level of total cholesterol, triglycerides and non-esterified fatty acids. 7, honeysuckle: the main components of chlorogenic acid compounds, such as chlorogenic acid and isochlorogenic acid. This product can reduce intestinal cholesterol absorption, so that the plasma cholesterol content decreased. Honeysuckle 9 grams brewed with boiling water as tea, has a good effect on hyperlipidemia
