Reduced risk of heart attack, and reduced cholesterol level
Ayurveda doctors note repeatedly that blood cholesterol levels are markedly reduced as a result of Panchakarma treatment. This has also been confirmed scientifically by a study from Freiburg University. 130 people were observed medically during the course of a purification treatment according to Maharishi Ayurveda.
Within two weeks the level of cholesterol as a whole dropped on average from 203.5 mg% to 179.5 mg%. In addition, the level of LDL- cholesterol, which is particularly harmful to the arterial walls, dropped by about 8.7%.
This in turn reduces the risk of heart attack or heart problems by about 17.8%, according to Dr med. Rainer Waldschütz, the author of the study. A questionnaire was evaluated at the same time and showed increased well-being as well as many improvements on the personal level: within two weeks the patients were less excitable and aggressive; they became more emotionally stable and more open; they were more ready to approach other people; and they displayed greater joy at their own achievements.
