How Does TCM Help Manage High Cholesterol & Lipid Imbalance? | Health Shine TCM Bukit Jalil Beyond Numbers: A Metabolic & Constitutional Approach

🌿 Many people first discover high cholesterol through a blood test —
but the body often shows signs earlier:

  • Heavy or sluggish feeling

  • Low energy

  • Abdominal weight gain

  • Poor sleep quality

  • Reduced exercise tolerance

  • Lipid levels rising despite moderate diet

In TCM, elevated cholesterol reflects long-term metabolic imbalance, not just dietary fat intake.


🌿 How TCM Understands High Cholesterol

1️⃣ Spleen Deficiency & Damp-Phlegm Accumulation

✔ impaired lipid metabolism
✔ fat and lipid buildup


2️⃣ Liver Qi Stagnation (Stress-related)

✔ fluctuating lipid levels
✔ metabolic rhythm disruption


3️⃣ Kidney Deficiency (Long-term pattern)

✔ reduced baseline metabolism
✔ age-related difficulty lowering lipids


4️⃣ Qi & Blood Circulation Imbalance

✔ sluggish clearance
✔ reduced vascular health
