Background: An increase in blood fat, especially cholesterol, is one of the chronic diseases that are caused by metabolic disorders caused by many factors. Due to the side effects and harmful effects of chemical drugs, the issue of returning to the use of herbal and natural drugs has received serious attention nowadays. Therefore, the present study aimed to introduce and review different formulations of herbal extracts whose effectiveness in the reduction of blood lipid profile has been proven.
Materials and Methods: The studies conducted in this field were reviewed in the form of a narrative review article.
Results: It is noteworthy that the desire to use medicinal plants that reduce blood fat has become widespread in most societies, even in developed countries. The consumption of these plants is especially significant when common treatments are not able to control the disease.
Conclusion: Although the arbitrary consumption of medicinal plants by patients with high blood fat may improve the disease, there is a possibility of drug interaction with common drugs, and because its use is irregular and with an uncertain and variable dose, it may cause a disturbance in disease control. Therefore, if it is intended for use, the treating physician must be informed.
