A REVIEW ON THE EFFICACY OF HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES IN HYPERLIPIDAEMIA

Abstract

Hyperlipidaemia, characterized by elevated levels of lipids such as cholesterol and triglycerides in the bloodstream, is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes. It can be classified into primary (genetic) or secondary (resulting from lifestyle or other medical conditions) types. The rising prevalence of hyperlipidaemia is linked to poor dietary habits, insufficient physical activity, and increasing obesity rates globally. Early detection through routine screening and proactive management strategies, including lifestyle modifications, medications, and regular monitoring of lipid profiles, are crucial in mitigating associated cardiovascular risks. The homoeopathic approach to managing hyperlipidaemia focuses on reducing elevated plasma lipid levels without the use of conventional lipid-lowering medications, instead emphasizing lifestyle changes. This approach aims to restore balance in bodily functions and promote overall well-being. This review delves into the homoeopathic approach to managing hyperlipidaemia, which underscores the importance of individualized treatment tailored to patient’s distinct symptomatology and constitutional constitution.
