Traditional medical practises frequently benefit from the use of herbal remedies, particularly when it comes to providing a safer alternative and well-tolerated treatments for long-term conditions like hypercholesterolemia. Hypercholesterolemia, is the sixth-highest risk factor for death globally, is one of the most common risk factors for atherosclerotic & cardiovascular disease. High cholesterol levels, which are prevalent in both industrialised and developing nations, are the root cause of one-third of ischemic heart disease. Modern medicine can reduce hypercholesterolemia, however there are long-term unfavourable side effects. The Ayurvedic medicinal system, which offers safer treatments for many diseases, has been widely used in the Indian subcontinent for centuries to cure illnesses. The study's conclusions regarding the effects of Brahmi and Karela to decrease cholesterol were favourable and demonstrated positive and encouraging results.
