Cytoprotective role of the aqueous extract of Terminalia chebula on renal epithelial cells

The effect of thriphala, a herbal Ayurveda formulation, on serum lipids, in patients on a maintenance dose of atorvastatin for hyperlipidaemia: a randomized controlled trial

“…Several promising Ayurveda herbs and herbal preparations such as cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) and garlic have produced significant reductions in total serum cholesterol (TC) and low density lipoproteins (LDL), with or without an increase of high density lipoproteins (HDL), in both human and experimental animal studies [9][10][11][12] In a study in experimentally induced atherosclerosis in rabbits, formulations of three herbal products reduced not only blood cholesterol and other lipids, but also cholesterol content in the liver and plaques in the aorta and coronary arteries [13]. The three herbal components tested in this study were the dried fruits of Terminalia chebula (Sinhala: Aralu), Terminalia bellerica (Sinhala: Bulu), and Phyllanthus emblica (Sinhala: Nelli).…”
