Clinical Study on Treatment of Hyperlipidemia by Lipid-decreasing Herbal Moxibustion in Middle-aged and Old Patients

摘要

Forty cases of hyperlipidemia were treated by herbal moxa stick moxibustion and compared with 22 cases treated by Oenothera Oil Capsules. The results showed that Lipid-Decreasing Herbal Moxibustion could decrease the serum cholesterol and triglyceride and elevate high-density lipoprotein and change the ratio of TC-HDL-C/HDL-C in the patients, and its therapeutic effect was better than that of the control group treated by Oenothera Oil Capsules (P < 0.01). Lipid-Decreasing Herbal Moxibustion can also improve the clinical symptoms and reduce the body weight.
