Natural and Proven Home Remedies to control High Cholesterol

Natural or complementary treatments for heart disease often aim to control cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and improve heart health. Typically, research on such treatments is limited, compared to that on conventional medical treatments.

Few natural products have been clinically proven to reduce cholesterol. According to the Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA), there’s no evidence that alternative or herbal therapies lower the risk of heart failure. However, many people have experienced some success with alternative treatments. For example, the Mayo Clinic notes that some cholesterol-lowering supplements and natural remedies might be helpful.

Before you try any alternative treatments, check with your doctor to determine if they’re safe for you. The ingredients in some alternative therapies can interfere with certain medications or have harmful side effects.
