Herbs can easily be incorporated into your daily diet and help you control your cholesterol naturally.

These herbs are:

*** Although some herbalists consider Alfalfa so mild that it is a food rather than a medicine, the herb has to its credit some wonderful cures.

Frank Bower (who is known as the Father of Alfalfa) discovered that the plant contained important enzymes, which assist in good digestion.

Tests over a period of years revealed that in addition to enzymes, the plant contains important chlorophyll, vitamins and minerals, all of which stimulate the appetite.

The enzymes are sufficiently present to help in the digestion of all four classes of foods–proteins, fats, starches and sugars.

One of the important vitamins present in the food is Vitamin U, which is also present in raw cabbage and which has been used to treat peptic ulcers.

This discovery of Vitamin U confirms the Chinese herbalists’ use of the herb to cure ulcers.

Alfalfa, along with other foods, is known to help remove cholesterol from the system. Alfalfa has a significant amount of protein — 18.9%, as compared with 16.5% in beef, 3.3% in milk and 13.1% in eggs.

Eating the sprouts can add a significant amount of important protein in vegetarians who take no animal proteins at all, and whose diet may include so many grains and beans that concentrated proteins are difficult to obtain.

*** Black Cohosh is the combination of standardized extract and dried powder of the Black Cohosh root. Black Cohosh is a popular Native American and folk remedy for female ailments and menstrual cramps.

The triterpene glycosides in the extract have been well researched in Germany for a broad range of menopausal symptoms. Also know to reduce bad cholesterol levels.

*** Hawthorn is the primary herb used by herbalists in America and Europe to support a healthy heart.

The leaves, berries and flowers are rich in flavonoids and proanthocyanidins renowned for their ability to support the normal activity and integrity of the heart.

Planetary Herbals Full Spectrum™ Hawthorn Extract combines a concentrated extract of hawthorn leaves and flowers with the whole berries, to deliver a full spectrum of valuable hawthorn constituents.

Lifestyle Recommendations: To support a healthy heart, avoid excess consuption of saturated fats and salted foods, eat a high fiber diet, maintain normal cholesterol levels, exercise regularly and avoid excessive stress.

Eat plenty of garlic and onions and supplement with magnesium and antioxidant nutrients, such as CoQ10 and vitamin E. other Planetary Herbals products to support the heart include: Hawthorn Heart™, CholestGar™, GarliChol™, and Guggul Cholesterol Compound™.

*** Turmeric (Curcuma longa) has a long history as a health-promoting botanical worldwide. Modern research has identified a group of compounds known as curcuminoids as predominantly responsible for its beneficial effects.

Turmeric has antioxidant properties, stimulates the production of bile, and supports cholesterol levels already in the normal range.

Planetary Formulas Full Spectrum Turmeric Extract combines a concentrated turmeric extract, standardized to 95% curcuminoids, with whole turmeric rhizome.

Combining these active constituents with the whole herb ensures that all the important compounds of the botanical are present.
