PLANTS USED IN DYSLIPIDEMIAS IN CONVENTIONAL AND UNCONVENTIONAL MEDICINE
Journal Title: Българско списание за обществено здраве (Bulgarian Journal of Public Health) - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
The information provided in this literature review raises awareness of doctors and citizens in terms of plant products exhibiting hypolipidemic properties, for possible control, management and prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and associated risk factors. The application of plants in dyslipidemias can be seen as part of a pharmacological approach that does not exclude the implementation of other measures of impact in dyslipidemias, such as stress reduction, exercise program, a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, medicines, etc. Literature reports of clinically significant adverse interactions in combined use of plants and other medicinal products should be also considered in the use of plants for medicinal purposes.
