Dyslipidemia is a disease marked by abnormality of lipid fractions’values. The abnormal lipid fraction could be the total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglyceride and/or HDL cholesterol. Treatment using traditional plants has been widely used by the Indonesian to treat dyslipidemia disease. This traditional literature review was carried out with the aim to collect some plants’data which are known to have benefits for lowering blood cholesterol from Google Scholar and Pubmed search engine and also to collect the herbals’contents data that are beneficial for repairing the cholesterol blood levels. The inclusion criteria for collecting the journals are published in the last 10 years, the journals can be either national or international journals and can be either in Indonesian or English. From the search results, 30 herbal plants that are useful for lowering blood cholesterol levels and have gone through the preclinical trials were selected. From those 30 chosen, 22 plants have undergone the clinical trials and showed antidyslipidemia effects on patients. Those plants consist of various contents such as flavonoid, terpenoid, steroid, alkaloid, tannin, lignan, saponin, quinone and other phenolic compounds. After gone through the clinical trials analysis, Curcuma longa Linn. (the rhizome part) and Punica granatum Linn. (the pericarp part) have the most dominant effects on dyslipidemia patients’blood cholesterol levels with only 500 mg for 30 days for Curcuma longa Linn. and 1000 mg for 8 weeks for Punica granatum Linn. And therefore, both of the plants are recommended for further clinical trials.
