Cholesterol
Reduce it
Chinese and East Asian medicine doctors utilize a comprehensive range of therapeutic modalities to address cholesterol-related disorders, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, and personalized dietary and lifestyle recommendations. Acupuncture, a fundamental aspect of this approach, involves the precise insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to regulate the flow of qi [energy], thereby supporting healthy lipid metabolism and cholesterol levels.
In concert with acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine plays a pivotal role in managing cholesterol imbalances. Drawing from an extensive herbal repertoire, practitioners prescribe tailored formulations designed to optimize lipid profiles, reduce LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol levels, and promote cardiovascular health. These herbal remedies are carefully selected based on their pharmacological properties and historical efficacy, aiming to address the underlying imbalances contributing to dyslipidemia.
Keep it down
Furthermore, with the use of the biofeedback machine, practitioners provide individualized guidance on supplements, dietary modifications and lifestyle adjustments to complement acupuncture and herbal interventions. By emphasizing a heart-healthy diet, including the incorporation of cholesterol-lowering foods and the reduction of dietary sources of saturated fats and cholesterol, individuals can support their efforts to improve lipid profiles and overall cardiovascular health. Additionally, lifestyle recommendations such as regular physical activity, stress management techniques, and smoking cessation further contribute to cholesterol management and cardiovascular wellness.
Through this integrative approach, our East Asian medicine doctors offer holistic support for individuals with cholesterol-related disorders, addressing both the symptomatic manifestations and the underlying factors to promote optimal lipid metabolism and cardiovascular well-being.
“I don’t know how, but they made it easy for me. Usually I don’t follow through with what doctor’s tell me to do. With them, I just kept feeling better and better. My old self would never believe how good I could feel. It’s like you don’t know how bad you feel till you feel better.
If you are like me and don’t like the taste of the Chinese formulas they will work with you. I took my herbs in capsule form instead of as a tea.
We tested different herbs and supplements with their biofeedback machine. It’s like no more guessing and I felt like OK I’m not just throwing money at different things that I don’t know if they are going to work. Anyway, I went for acupuncture treatments and took all the stuff, changed some lifestyle things and my cholesterol has dropped 40 points so far! ”
