Phytotherapy for cholesterol

Internal Usage

- Artichoke : (Cynara scolymus L.). (Infusion of two tablespoons of dried leaves per liter of water. Take three times daily before meals.) (A preparation of juice of green leaves mixed with wine can be very suitable)

- Garlic (Allium sativum) (Half a gram of tincture per day) (raw in salads) (Maceration of 100 grams of garlic in 400 grams of wine alcohol . Half a teaspoon before bedtime)

- Orange (Citrus sinensis) Studies carried out in United States showed that the orange peel, rich in flavonoids tangeritin and nobilitin, got a 40% reduction in cholesterol levels in a group of rats submitted to diets rich in this component. The study suggested the possibility of using this food as a way to reduce cholesterol in humans. It also showed that the orange peel contains up to 20 times more flavonoids than the juice of this fruit because the flavonoids do not dissolve in the liquid, so juice flavonoids become less asimilable than those in the cortex. (Perhaps a piece of orange rind in our meals from time to time can help us lower our cholesterol level)
