Abstract

Dyslipidemia is a condition of the lipid profile in the blood at an abnormal level. Based on the 2013 Riskesdas, about 35.9% of the Indonesian population aged >14 years experienced dyslipidemia. Black cumin is an herbal plant that through its antioxidant activity can cure diseases such as dyslipidemia. Meanwhile, garlic is known to contain active substances that can play a role in helping the process of increasing lipid profile levels in the body. Some studies have examined the potential combination of these two compounds’ usage in pathological conditions and yielded significant results. Therefore, this literature study was compiled to expand and summarize the analysis of the combination of black cumin and garlic potential as an alternative therapeutic modality in dyslipidemia. The writing of this paper uses a literature review study method. References are obtained from globally published journals that can be accessed through the International Library of Medicine (Pubmed), Clinical key, and PlosOne with a search time range from September 26–October 26, 2020. Based on the analysis process in this literature review, we conclude that the combination of the two compounds has also been shown to strengthen the antioxidant activity that can be given. So that the combination of Nigella sativa and Allium sativum can be used as a modality of herbal therapy in cases of dyslipidemia.
