Investigating the Potential Antihyperlipidemic Properties of Ultra-High Dilutions of Guatteria Gaumeri: An Experimental Approach

Abstract

The traditional medicinal plant known as Guatteria gaumeri, also referred to as G. leiophylla Safford, is a member of the Anonaceae family. It has historically been employed by indigenous populations for addressing hyperlipidemia, a condition that heightens the risk of atherosclerosis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, which ranks as the leading cause of global and national mortality. This investigation presents the effectiveness of various homeopathic dilutions of Guatteria gaumeri, including 30C, 12C, and the Mother Tincture, in the reduction of cholesterol levels. The research was conducted using Hubbard broiler chickens, with each group consisting of four chickens. The chickens received Guatteria gaumeri Mother Tincture, 12C, or 30C twice daily for a duration of 35 days. On the 36th day, serum lipid parameters such as total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, HDL, and VLDL were measured and compared to a control group. The results revealed a significant decrease in blood triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL, and VLDL levels, along with an increase in HDL levels, following 35 days of Guatteria gaumeri Mother Tincture, 12C, and 30C intervention. In conclusion, these findings suggest that Guatteria gaumeri, as a homeopathic remedy, possesses noteworthy anti-hyperlipidemic properties and holds promise as a potential therapeutic agent for metabolic correction and lipid level.
