There are natural blood thinners right in your kitchen.

If you are suffering form clots, poor circulation, varicosities or have had a heart attack or stroke in the past, chances are your blood is too thick and sluggish.  You may suffer form a condition called hypercoagulation syndrome.  To treat this condition, traditional doctors often place their patients on a drug called coumadin to reduce the thickness of the blood.  This requires careful and frequent monitoring of blood clotting times and often leads abnormal skin bruising and other unwanted side effects.

What most doctors don’t tell you or aren’t aware of is the fact that there are safer alternatives that exist right in most of our kitchens.  Some of these items include but are not limited to cayenne, garlic, ginger, rosemary, salmon, and sardines.  Other supplements that can decrease blood viscosity include fish oils, vitamin E, and nattokinase,  Be sure to consult with your doctor before surgery if you are taking any of these items, and after as a possible alternative to coumadin.  It is always best to work with a qualified practitioner, such as a Naturopathic Doctor, since some people do need coumadin therapy and will not benefit enough from diet or supplementation alone. 

Yours in good health,
