10 Natural Blood Thinners That Make Wonders For Your Body

For those with thick and sticky blood, there is a variety of natural blood thinners that may be able to improve the viscosity of the blood and in turn improve overall body health.

Some of these herbs, fruits, spices, and other foods have been used for centuries all over the world as a remedy for all kinds of health issues, and some are still to this day being researched to pinpoint the benefits and any related drawbacks.

When considering which natural remedies will be appropriate for you, it is highly recommended that you talk to your doctor or specialist before combining them with your prescription anticoagulant medication, or aspirin, if you are currently taking any.

When some supplements are used in combination with anticoagulant medications it can cause your blood to become too thin, which can hinder the body’s ability to clot in the event that you are physically injured.

1. Ginkgo Biloba

An extract made from leaves of a ginkgo tree has been shown to increase blood flow to the brain and provide a slight benefit to memory. It has been used for centuries as a remedy for many kinds of medical problems, and some recent studies show that it can help prevent or slow down the advancement of symptoms related to dementia or Alzheimer’s.

There have also been studies that show ginkgo can relieve pain caused by partially blocked arteries in the legs, along with various other issues associated with poor circulation. The only way to safely consume ginkgo is an extract from the leaves, as the seeds and the raw leaves themselves are harmful to the human body and can even be fatal. It is also important to remember that just because it’s a natural remedy, it can still cause problems when taken in too high of a dose or when taken along with certain medications.
