Various experimental studies are conducted to study the effect of herbs in reducing atherosclerosis. The animals were first fed with high fat, high cholesterol diet. As a result, the endothelium of vessels gets deposited with fatty tissues (atherosclerosis), which is considered as the primary cause for blockages. Then the same animals were fed with CAD reversal herbs like Garcinia indica (Vrikshamla) for six weeks. Garcinia treatment protected the endothelium from atherosclerosis.The endothelium becomes intact without any fatty tissue deposition.<ref>Kim, Young-Je & Choi, Myung-Sook & Park, Yong & Kim, Sang & Lee, Mi-Kyung & Jung, Un.

In a randomized controlled trial, one group (Arm A) received HFRT (Heart failure reversal therapy) with conventional oral medications for heart failure. The other group (Arm B) received only conventional oral medications. VO2 max in Arm B group was 19.02ml/kg/min initially. After six weeks of conventional treatment, VO2 max increased to 21.9ml/kg/min. After 18 weeks, it again raised to 24.02 ml/kg/min. The initial VO2 max in Arm A patients was 19.65 ml/kg/min, almost equal to that of Arm B.  After six weeks of therapy VO2 max raised to 28.01 ml/kg/min, and after 18 weeks of therapy, it again raised to 29.12 ml/kg/min.<ref>Sane R, Aklujkar A, Patil A, Mandole R.
