What are the types of Chinese herbal lipid-lowering drugs?

My mother is getting older and fatter. What kinds of Chinese herbal lipid-lowering drugs are there? Recently, I often feel cramps in my hands, pain in my knees, and I am always sleepy. This has been going on for a while. I was a little worried, so I went to the hospital with my mother for a check-up. The doctor said that some of her blood lipids are high. These symptoms are caused by high blood lipids. Blood lipids must be controlled in time otherwise it is easy to cause other diseases. My aunt asked my mother to try Chinese medicine, saying that Chinese medicine does not harm the body. What are the Chinese herbal lipid-lowering drugs?

Cassia seed: It has the effect of inhibiting the increase of serum cholesterol and the formation of arteriosclerotic plaques. Take 5 to 10 grams of stir-fried Cassia seeds and drink it in boiling water every day for one month, which can gradually reduce cholesterol to normal levels.

Polygonum multiflorum: Polygonum multiflorum can promote intestinal peristalsis, reduce cholesterol absorption, and accelerate cholesterol excretion, thereby lowering blood lipids and resisting arteriosclerosis. "Polygonum multiflorum tablets" are commonly used in clinical practice, 5 tablets each time, 3 times a day. It is suitable for elderly patients with hyperlipidemia and constipation, and those with liver and kidney deficiency.

Puhuang: It can inhibit the intestinal absorption of exogenous cholesterol, thereby lowering blood lipids, but only raw Puhuang is effective.

Hawthorn: Hawthorn contains substances such as hawthorn acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, etc., which can dilate blood vessels, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and increase gastric digestive enzymes. Hawthorn slices are commonly used clinically, 2 to 3 slices each time, 3 times a day, and one month as a course of treatment. You can also use 50 grams of hawthorn fruit, boil it in water and drink it as tea.

Rhubarb: Rhubarb has the effects of lowering blood pressure and cholesterol. In the clinical treatment of patients with hyperlipidemia, taking rhubarb powder orally 0.25 grams each time, 4 times a day, for one month as a course of treatment, can reduce triglycerides. It is especially suitable for patients with hyperlipidemia who suffer from constipation.

Ginkgo leaves: Studies have found that ginkgo leaves can lower serum cholesterol and dilate coronary arteries. There is a Chinese patent medicine called "Ginkgo Leaf" on the market.
