Thank you! Will go to Sprouts Market for some of these odd spices.
I order most of mine from Starwest Botanicals, pippali is harder to find, I get on Amazon as SB has been out of pippali for a long time.
Is Sprouts Market online?
For high cholesterol - and many other issues - Arjuna and Hawthorne are helpful. Eating oatmeal regularly is considered to be good.

Triphala Guggulu has many uses, including managing cholesterol. It is helpful in weight lost, for detoxifying in general, promotes digestion and elimination, and good metabolism.

Regular intake of black pepper, ginger (root and powdered), and the herb Fenugreek which is hard to get into food without effort. I have some seeds and I make a tea, not bad.
I use all of the above and my cholesterol got better. Hawthorne and Arjuna I take daily for heart health, as I went through a period of very unpleasant and frightening heart episodes. After starting Arjuna, Hawthorne and Jatamansi (very good for heart, including hypo/hypertension) my heart works normally.
