Hyperlipidaemia (Adhi dhoola noi) is a well known metabolic disorder, prevalent in 30-40% of the people worldwide. It is one of the most important factors of morbidity and mortality related to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Research articles prove hyperlipidaemia as an important factor that determines the risk of atherosclerotic heart disease and endocrinal disorders. Siddha Medical system is one of the ancient one in which medicinal plants contributes a vital role in the making of single and compound formulations. Siddha medicinal plants can play an important role in the reduction of hyperlipidemic state with proven evidence-based research. This warrants introduction of Siddha medicinal plants in the treatment of hyperlipidaemia. This review article recites various polyherbal Siddha formulations and single herbs as a hypolipidaemic drugs with scientifically proven measures which are equally effective, safe to use, affordable and easily...

Flavonoids are common plant constituents used extensively in phytomedicine to treat a wide range of diseases. Many pharmacological pieces of evidence suggest that flavonoids may play an important role in the decreased risk of chronic diseases associated with a diet rich in plant-derived foods. Therefore, this article focuses on the chemistry, distribution and pharmacological properties of rhoifolin as one of the common and important flavonoids in the plant kingdom. This flavonoid has also been found in several dietary sources such as bitter orange, bergamot, grapefruit, lemon, lupinus, lablab beans, tomatoes, artichoke, bananas, and grapes. Preclinical studies have shown that rhoifolin possesses a variety of significant biological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective and anticancer effects. The literature search was conducted using electronic databases (e.g., Medline, Pubmed, Academic Journals and Springer Link), general web searches were also undertaken using Google applying some related search, journals and scientific theses. The bibliographies of papers relating to the review subject were also searched for further relevant...
