Himalaya Lasuna -The cardiovascular guardian. Lasuna (Garlic/Allium sativum) is well-known as a pungent, culinary spice in several cultures; the herb is one of the most researched plants for its medicinal benefits. Herb functions: Antihyperlipidemic: Lasuna lowers cholesterol, plasma lipids, cholesterol biosynthesis and atherogenesis (the accumulation of lipid-containing plaque on the innermost layer of the artery wall. Antihypertensive: Lasuna helps in vasodilation. Vasodilation relaxes the blood vessels so that blood moves easily through them, and, subsequently, the pressure exerted by the blood on the artery walls is reduced. Antithrombotic: Lasuna increases serum fibrinolytic activity and inhibits platelet aggregation. Expectorant: Lasuna has been traditionally used in respiratory conditions like asthma and bronchitis. Digestive: The Lasuna bulb is effective in treating dyspepsia as it stimulates peristaltic action and the secretion of digestive juices. It also relieves flatulence.
