How to Reduce Cholesterol Through Homeopathy?

Abstract

High cholesterol is commonly seen in people above 30 years of age. Usually, high cholesterol is associated with other health conditions like diabetes, cardiac problems or other chronic diseases.

Cholesterol is a fat-like substance which is produced by the liver. It is present in every cell of our body. Large amounts of cholesterol are usually produced by the body and only a small amount is obtained from the food. The high amount of cholesterol in your blood is not due to eating fatty food but it is due to physical or mental stress that your body is unable to deal with. Physical stress like after surgery, after heavy physical labor, infection or a health-issue like liver enlargement, etc. and mental stress including emotional disturbance, the death of a family member, severe anxious or fearful nature, etc.

Cholesterol is essential for our body because it helps maintain and regulate the vital functions of our body like the production of essential hormones, fighting infections, builds immunity, helps in bone formation and development of brain function.
