Natural remedies for heart disease have been around since time immemorial, especially in Ayurveda. When my uncle was diagnosed with cholesterol he did not much notice and carried with his earlier lifestyle of heavy drinking, smoking and loading on junk food. The result was a severe heart attack. The doctor nearly chided him due to reckless lifestyle. It was only after getting discharged from the hospital that my uncle decided to bring about a change and starting of course with the medication. He wanted something that can be taken long term.
