Background:Hyper lipidemia refers to the excess of lipids in the blood of patients. The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of Nigella sativa (kalonji) and honey as compared with Atorvastatin on the lipid profile of hyper lipidemia patients with habit of smoking. Methodology: Purposes, 60 patients (3 groups of 20) of 35-65 years were selected. These patients were treated with 1 g of Nigella sativa (kalonji) seed, one tablespoon of honey, and Atorvastatin 10 mg daily in the morning at fasting for a period of 30 days. Results: The results obtained showed that Nigella sativa (kalonji), honey as well as Atorvastatin lowered significantly the levels of total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoproteins (LDL) and triglycerides (TGs) after 30 days of treatment. On the other hand, all the treatments increased HDL levels significantly after 30 days treatments were non-significant on TC and LDL levels of smokers. But after 30 days of treatment, Atorvastatin was significantly more effective than honey and Nigella sativa (kalonji). Honey reduced TGs level of smokers significantly over Nigella sativa (kalonji) and Atorvastatin. Conclusion: It can be concluded that both Nigella sativa (kalonji) and honey were as effective as Atorvastatin or more effective in some cases in reducing TC, LDL and TGs of hyper lipidemic smokers significantly while HDL levels were increased significantly.

“…[4][5][6][7][8] Honey has earned an imperative spot in conventional medication for epochs. [9,10] But, still it is underutilised in modern remedial procedures owing to the dearth of scientific backing. Since historic times, it has been emphasised that honey could be functioned to treat not only liver disorders, but cardiovascular and gastrointestinal problems as well.…”

Honey is a natural domestic sweet food material and a chemically diverse superfluous product of nectar acquired from flowers. Owing to the presence of higher amounts of antioxidant compounds covering phenolic, enzymes, organic acids, and bioactive peptides, it holds a strong ability to prevent various maladies. In addition, honey has also been exploited in certain cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neoplastic, and inflammatory states along with its role in the treatment of copious infections and surgical wounds. Flavonoids and polyphenols are important bioactive components present in honey and have antioxidant properties. Some bioactive compounds, for example luteolin, galangin, isorhamnetin, quercetin, and kaempferol, are present in honey. Phenolic acids and flavonoids have important pharmacological activities such as anti-allergic, anti-biotic, anticarcinogenic, and hypoglycaemic. Moreover, curative potential of bioactive components and their utilisation in value added food products are also the limelight of this article. ARTICLE HISTORY
