(1) safflower
Safflower oil contains linoleic acid, oleic acid, linolenic acid and other unsaturated fatty acids, which can significantly reduce serum total cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Usually the dosage is 20 ml, three times a day, mixed with vegetables or taken orally for 4 ~ 5 months, and the effective rate of lowering cholesterol can reach 72%. Once the drug is stopped, even if it is only half a month, it will pick up.
(2) Strict
The fruit of Leonurus heterophyllus is Fructus Leonuri, and its oil content is 37% (unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid and linoleic acid). Motherwort is a commonly used granule in clinic. The daily dose is equivalent to 30 grams of crude drugs, and the course of treatment is 1 month. The effect of lowering triglyceride is better than that of lowering cholesterol, and the adverse reaction is small. All types of hyperlipidemia in the elderly are suitable.
(3) Turmeric
Turmeric can not only promote bile secretion, but also its extract can obviously reduce the blood cholesterol content of experimental hyperlipidemia animals. Turmeric alcohol extract, volatile oil and curcumin all have the effects of lowering blood cholesterol, triglyceride and β lipoprotein, especially triglyceride, which can reduce the contents of aortic cholesterol and triglyceride.
(4) Polygonum cuspidatum
Emodin contained in Polygonum cuspidatum can reduce exogenous cholesterol from entering the body. Clinical reports show that Polygonum cuspidatum has been used to treat hyperlipidemia 124 cases, and the effective rate of lowering cholesterol is between 47. 1%- 100%, and it also has the effect of lowering triglyceride, and the effective rate is between 27.2% and 83.3%.
(5) garlic
Garlic contains garlic essential oil, which has a good inhibitory effect on the increase of low density lipoprotein caused by arterial lipid hyperplasia and cholesterol, can prevent the decrease of lipoprotein, and can also significantly reduce the content of aortic cholesterol and relieve aortic atherosclerosis.
(6) Evening primrose
Evening primrose oil is extracted from evening primrose seeds and contains 75% γ -linoleic acid and 7% ~ 9% γ -linolenic acid. γ -linolenic acid is a precursor of prostaglandin, which has physiological activities such as reducing blood lipid, antithrombotic and improving hemorheology. Clinical application shows that taking 2g each time, twice a day, can make the total effective rate of lowering cholesterol reach 68.2%, the total effective rate of lowering triglyceride reach 865,438 0.5%, and can improve high density lipoprotein. All types of hyperlipidemia in the elderly can be applied to evening primrose.
(7) Polygonum multiflorum Thunb
Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. Contains chrysophanol, emodin, rhein, etc. It is the root of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. Polygonaceae can promote intestinal peristalsis, accelerate cholesterol excretion, and weaken cholesterol absorption capacity, thus achieving the effects of reducing blood fat and resisting atherosclerosis. Clinical application of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. Tablets are far better than decoction. Oral administration of 5 tablets, 3 times a day, 1 ~ 3 months, the effective rate can reach 89%. After stopping the drug, the blood lipid has increased, so we should insist on taking the drug after receiving the curative effect to maintain the curative effect. It is precisely because Polygonum multiflorum Thunb has the function of nourishing liver and kidney that it is especially suitable for the elderly with hyperlipidemia, liver and kidney yin deficiency and dry stool. Polygonum multiflorum Thunb can also be widely used in a large number of clinical patients as a lipid-lowering prescription.
(8) Alisma orientalis
Alisma orientalis has a good hypolipidemic effect. Alisma orientalis can obviously inhibit the formation of atherosclerotic plaque and the content of cholesterol in blood, and also inhibit the absorption and synthesis of cholesterol by human body, which is also very beneficial to the operation and excretion of cholesterol.
(9) Hawthorn
Hawthorn is a red fruit with sour taste and appetizing effect. Besides edible, it has many medicinal values. Hawthorn is made into various preparations abroad for treating hyperlipidemia and coronary heart disease. Hawthorn contains alcohol preparation and extract total saponins, which have the effects of lowering blood pressure and lipid and reducing lipid deposition on atherosclerosis.
(10) cassia seed
According to relevant medical reports, cassia seed decoction and syrup are used to treat hypercholesterolemia 100 cases, and the total effective rate is as high as 98%. Many experiments have proved that cassia seed has a good inhibitory effect on the increase of blood cholesterol and the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. The lipid-lowering effect is related to aloe-emodin and emodin rich in cassia seed, which can promote intestinal movement and inhibit cholesterol absorption.
