I have high tryglyceride level . I heard that if I put a piece of "kudampuli" (Garcinia Combigia) in a glass of water overnight and drink the water in an empty stomach for 2 weeks, the tryglyceride level goes down drastically.
Kindly advise this procedure has any side effect or damage to the body.
Thanks
