ABSTRACT Across all income groups, coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death globally. Globalization has led to improvements in the health care system, but the indulgence in Western culture and sedentary lifestyles has increased the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors. Elevated Cholesterol is one of the main causes of CAD. It is described as a disease where the body has higher than normal levels of lipids. Ayurveda takes a distinctive stance when diagnosing and treating high cholesterol. Elevated cholesterol is viewed as a sign of many different conditions rather than an illness in and of itself. The ailments are associated with Rasavaha sroto dushti rogas, which have been mentioned in ancient Ayurvedic texts. This illness results in a defect at the Agni level and is caused by diminished Agnis (Jatharagni, Dhatwagni, and Bhutagni). In light of this, we can arrange for the treatment of elevated cholesterol along the same lines as Rasavaha sroto dushti, necessitating the properties of Deepana, Pachana, and Kaphghana. One of the most widely used Ayurvedic formulations for a variety of uses is trimada. It is made up of three medications: Vidanga, Mustaka, and Chitraka. The purpose of this paper is to establish the relationship between high cholesterol and the role that taking Trimada's three medications can play in both preventing and treating high cholesterol.
