Three Herbal remedies that lower cholesterol

Heart disease is a killer that has more victims to its name in the United States than cancer, and while heart disease is detected until it is too late, it is considered to be a result of making unhealthy choices when it comes to your diet and lifestyle.

It is only when one commits to changes in these areas will one see a drastic improvement, however, there are herbs that will help you keep it under control despite not being to control the condition itself.

And if one does have a serious cholesterol problem, then perhaps these simple foods and beverages could help make lasting changes, keeping in mind that serious changes have to be made to your diet and lifestyle as well.

• 1. Garlic

This vegetable is probably several people’s first choice as it not only emulsifies cholesterol, and in doing so, lowers cholesterol but also has a host of other benefits as an immune booster as well as an antibiotic.

• 2. Green Tea

Not only is this known to increase ‘good cholesterol’ but lower ‘bad cholesterol’ and triglyceride levels as well. In addition to this, it has been accepted the world over a refreshing beverage along with being a powerful antioxidant and an immune system booster.

• 3. Red Yeast Rice

In slowing down the production of cholesterol, red yeast rice lowers cholesterol. And since it is so effective, it is often used in the preparation of prescription drugs that work as cholesterol medication such as Statin and so on and so forth. But, of course, since this is natural, one can hardly expect any side-effects (unlike prescription drugs) in consuming red yeast rice.

Tuna As A Cold Sore Home Remedy

Let’s get this out in the open as soon as possible. Cold Sores are a form of Herpes – the Herpes Simplex Virus. It is a common, contagious, and often sexually transmitted disease that is unfortunately at this time incurable. The symptoms are the blisters which can appear anywhere on the body, but are especially common around the mouth and genital regions.

If you are suffering through an active outbreak of the Herpes Simplex virus, you probably want some way to deal with the pain and embarrassment. The cold sore home remedylist below shows some ways people around the world have remedied the symptoms of this virus.

Tuna/L-Lysine – This supplement can be found at health food stores. It is also present in high quantities in Tuna Fish. Take the 1000mg supplements or start eating a lot of canned tuna as soon as you feel the tingle.

Colloidal Silver applied to the spot where you can feel the cold sore coming in. Also taken orally as a preventative.

Tea Tree Oil placed on a cotton ball and dabbed liberally on the area where you suspect the sores are about to develop. People claim they keep the sore size to a minimum and limit scarring.

Nail Polish Remover dabbed on the sore. People say it burns like crazy but dries the sore up quickly.

Ice – Keep icing down the area where you feel the sores starting. Again, this is supposed to minimize the size of the sores and the strength of the outbreak.

To prevent spreading this virus which may infect between 25-30% of the adult population in the USA, abstinence is best (though rarely practical, eh?) and at least well protected intercourse with condoms is suggested.
