With the improvement of living standards, the incidence of hyperlipidemia, a “disease of wealth”, is on the rise. Hyperlipidemia can lead to coronary heart disease, fatty liver, diabetes, obesity and other diseases, so it is especially important to control blood lipids in a timely and effective manner. Although there are many western medicines to lower blood lipids, most of them have certain side effects. Chinese medicine also has unique advantages in controlling blood lipids. We recommend several herbal medicines with clinical efficacy in lowering blood lipids: Hawthorn: Hawthorn contains hawthorn acid, tartaric acid and other substances, which can dilate blood vessels, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol and increase digestive enzymes of gastric juice. Patients can usually use fresh hawthorn fruit 50 grams or hawthorn dried 6 grams, water decoction offspring tea drink. It is important to note that patients with excessive stomach acidity should not take more. Ginkgo biloba: Ginkgo biloba contains mangiferous acid, biflavones, isobiflavones, sterols and other components. Experimental research and clinical trials have proved that Ginkgo biloba has the effect of lowering serum cholesterol and dilating coronary arteries, which is useful for treating hypertension, hyperlipidemia and coronary heart disease, and can be used alone or with Chuanxiong, safflower and other drugs. Pu huang: Pu huang is sweet, calm, 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 an effect, Pu Huang oil and residues do not have this effect. Clinically, 30 grams of raw Phellodendron daily, 1 to 2 months for a course of treatment, has a certain cholesterol-lowering effect. Raw He Shou Wu: Raw Shou Wu has a bitter odor, cold nature and 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. He Shou Wu has the effect of tonifying the liver and kidney, benefiting the essence and blood, and laxative, which is especially suitable for elderly patients with hyperlipidemia who also have liver and kidney yin deficiency and constipation. Zedoary: Zedoary contains oryzanol terpenoids, which can affect lipolysis and reduce the raw materials for cholesterol synthesis, thus exerting the effect of lowering blood lipids and preventing atherosclerosis and fatty liver. Cassia seeds: Cassia seeds, also known as cassia seeds, are sweet and bitter, slightly cold in nature, and contain plant sterols and anthraquinones, which have the effect of inhibiting serum cholesterol elevation and atherosclerotic plaque formation, and have a significant effect on lowering blood lipids. It is reported that taking 50 grams of grass cassia, adding the right amount of water, decocted and taken in 2 times for 1 month, can gradually reduce cholesterol to normal level. Lotus leaf: lotus leaf contains lotus alkaloids, demethyl lotus alkaloids: poppy alkaloids, fenugreek alkaloids, eosin, tartaric acid, oxalic acid, gluconic acid and succinic acid, ellagic acid, etc., which have good effect on lowering blood lipids. Clinically, lotus leaves can be consumed as tea or added to dishes when cooking.
