Raised amount of cholesterol in the blood stream is a dangerous trend that can happen in your body. high cholesterol levels in blood have been indicated to heart related ailments. Cholesterol has the tendency to get deposited in the arterial walls while its course of flow in the body. The deposits are known as plaque, narrow the arterial cavity and thus interrupt the blood flow. The process of narrowing of the arteries is technically known as arthrosclerosis and is very often seen in arteries that supplies blood to heart. As heart is a vital organ and if it is deprived of nutrients and nourishments may lead to the disruption of its functioning. This disruption of its function may be fatal. But it is our fortune that cholesterol deposition is a reversible process, if proper care is taken.
Types of cholesterol:
(a) High density lipoproteins (HDL)
(b) Low density lipoproteins (LDL)
These are antagonistic in function and work in opposite direction. LDL carries the cholesterol from heart and supplies it to whole body. When the LDL level in the blood rises then it starts depositing in the arterial wall and this is the reason it is known as bad cholesterol. As compared to HDL it is being carried from blood to liver and helps in dissolving cholesterol deposited in the arteries, hence it is referred to as good cholesterol.

See a naturopathic physician whose specialty centers on this.
There are indeed plants that address such condition.
Plants (or Herbs) are God’s medicines, whose energies and thereby chemical signatures address and resonate with those selfsame energies and frequencies of various organisms. The human being is one such organism.
Plants and animals are genetic siblings, they did evolve in great measure together…
The key distinction that one must make as regards a fit herb can only truly be known by coming to know what herb works for ‘you’ because an herb that works for one person may not carry for another.
Thus, nature has provided many alternative plants whose chemistries are similar but not exact as another plant, and which do not resonate with the same efficacy for all bodies.
Moreover, more than one herb alone may be required to address a given medical condition and in fact may require that the patient use several herbs in differing ratios, all working in tandem. See?
