Question
What herbs can I take that can help lower my and better control my cholestrol?

Answer
Dear Jamie,

Treating high chelestrol with Chinese Herbs is a bit more complicated then just taking herb A or herb B.  

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, high cholesterol stems from different causes besides your diet.  Please consult with a Chinese Herbalist or Acupuncturist for the exact type of herbs for the specific cause of the high cholesterol you are referring to.  

Here is a list of Chinese herbs that can be use for high cholesterol.  Keep in mind that these are GENERAL HERBS for high cholesterol.  They are like the "shot-gun" approach.  They can be found in most Chinese herbal pharmacy and/or Acupuncture clinic that carry herbs.

Shan Zha, Cao Jue Ming, Zi Xie, He Shou Wu, Chuan Xiong, Dan Shen, Yin Chen hao, Dan Shen, San Ji Sheng, Ge Gen, Yin Chen Hao, Chuan Xiong, Chi Xiao, Tian Qi, Pu Huang, Wang Bu Liu Xin, Lu Lu Tong

These herbs are in Chinese PinYin name.  A Chinese Herbalist should be able to explain them in details.  Also, Acupuncture can also help to lower the high cholesterol.  

I hope this help and I do highly recommend the person with high cholesterol to consult with a Chinese herbalist or Acupuncturist as this will be of best benefit.  

Sincerely,

Dr. Man Tran
