  Symptoms of high cholesterol The only criteria that can warn you of possible high cholesterol level is a routine check up of your blood. Some un-certified doctors may say that there are some symptoms but they are not specific to high cholesterol levels. People suffering from certain diseases such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, heart disease or people who are obese or over the age of 35 should do a check on their cholesterol, blood and lipid profiles. Herbal remedies: Arjuna (or Terminalia arjuna) is a coronary vasodilator. It helps maintain the tone and health of the heart muscle while protecting the heart and strengthening the circulation. It is also useful in promoting healing after a heart attack and stopping bleeding. Arjunine, arjunetein and arjunetosides I, II, III, IV are triterpine glycosides that are contained in a specific medically active constituent called Tarjuana. This was proven thanks to some recent scientific researches. Arjuna tree has been found to be a great source for Coenzyme Q10 as well, which is heavily prescribed nowadays to prevent different heart diseases. Guggul (or Commiphora mukul) helps with the cholesterol levels by lowering the LDL levels while raising the levels of HDL, or the so-called “good cholesterol”. Cardiac ischemia, atherosclerosis and psoriasis are just some of the diseases for which guggul is prescribed. With the help of Guggul, blood cholesterol can be lowered by up to 14 to 27 percent and triglycerides can be lowered by up to 22 to 30 percent. It has been discovered that the effects that Guggul has on blood cholesterol levels is similar to prescription medications, but since it is a natural plant extract, it is a superior and safer product. Garlic (Allim sativum) is a wonder drug for the human heart. Through the help of clinican trials, it has been proven that fresh garlic and garlic supplements, combined with a diet or a statin drug can do wonders on your cholesterol levels, and also prevent blood clots and destroy plaque. Under a 12 week trial, when people with high blood pressure were given one clove of garlic, their diastolic blood pressure and cholesterol levels were significantly reduced.
