What is Dyslipidemia?

What is Dyslipidemia?

Dyslipidemia is defined as having blood lipid levels that are too high or low. HDL, LDL, and triglycerides are the three primary types of lipids in your blood. Blood lipids are fatty substances, such as triglycerides and cholesterol.

LDL cholesterol is known as the unhealthy form of cholesterol. This occurs when it accumulates and creates clumps or plaques within your artery walls. HDL cholesterol is considered “good” as it aids in removing LDL from your bloodstream. Triglycerides are derived from unburned calories consumed. Fat cells store triglycerides. Elevated levels of LDL and triglycerides increase the likelihood of heart attack and stroke. When HDL cholesterol levels are low, the risk of heart disease increases.

According to Ayurveda, high cholesterol is known as “Medovriddhi,” with “Meda” representing lipids and “Vriddhi” meaning increase. The goal of Ayurvedic treatments is to harmonize cholesterol levels using diet, lifestyle modifications, and herbal remedies.

Ayurvedic Approach to Treating Dyslipidemia

Ayurveda states that dyslipidemia is characterized by abnormal Medas in the rakta dhatu. Vyana vata carries Kapha dosha in the rasa-rakta vaha srotas, with Medhas serving as its ashraya. Agni’s metabolic activities are accountable for the variations in dosha, dhatu, and mala. When Agni is impaired, it results in the formation of ama in the body, which accumulates in abnormal areas. This accumulation of ama in rakta and rasa is known as leenatwa of ama in dhatus. Therefore, the approach to dyslipidemia treatment centres on restoring dosha balance and removing ama from the body. With a holistic approach, the entire treatment line results in a complete reversal of the condition.
