According to traditional Chinese medicine, cholesterol and triglycerides are considered as excess accumulations of dampness (hyperglycemia) and phlegm in the blood vessels (dyslipidemia), liver (fatty liver), and body (obesity). To effectively reduce plasma levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, treat fatty liver, and reduce body weight, treatment must focus on dissolving dampness, eliminating phlegm, invigorating blood circulation, and clearing heat.  Cholisma (ES) is an excellent formula to treat individuals with an overall condition characterized by elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels, accompanied by a fatty liver and obesity.
