Phytotherapy: Medicinal plants preparations for blood clots
Important Note: The use of these remedies along with other anticoagulant drugs may have side effects or incompatibilities. Consult your doctor before taking these remedies if you are taking these medications.
Phytotherapy in the treatment of blood clots focuses on the use of plants for the following purposes:
- Plants with circulatory properties that improve blood circulation. They are mostly fluidizing components that reduce blood clotting ability.
- Diuretic plants that increase the expulsion of body fluids, and consequently promote greater elimination of toxins and therefore a purer and fluid blood flow.
- Plants with vasotonic properties that protect blood vessels and give them greater flexibility
Natural remedies for blood clots
Among the main plants, we can include the following:
- Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) Ginkgo is one of the best remedies to improve blood circulation. The reason lies in the ability of extracts of this plant to dilate blood vessels and cause blood to flow more smoothly. Ginkgo also has the ability to decrease fibrin as it reduces t this clotting factor, making the blood flow more easily.
- Ginger (Zingiber officinale) thins the blood, prevents thrombus formation and lowers blood pressure (Eat ginger at meals) (Take 3 capsules of 250 mg per day, divided between meals)
- Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) Salicylic acid in meadowsweet can make your blood flow more easily. (Infusion of 2 teaspoons of flowers and leaves, three times a day. Do not reach boiling).
- Guarana: (Paullina cupana) It has also been observed that guarana supplementation prevents the formation of inflammatory substances and blood clotting
- Kumquat: (Fortunella spp) Scientific studies have shown that the skin of kumquat has antioxidant components that promote circulation. Antioxidants help maintain the strength and elasticity of blood vessels and prevent blood clots.(Eat the fruits including the skin)
- Pepper (Piper nigrum) Due to its fluidizing properties for the blood, black pepper is used to prevent blood clotting (Add pepper to your food. Maximum 5 gr daily) (25 drops 3 times a day of mother tincture)

The use of this plant thins blood and helps prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases such as stroke, arteriosclerosis, heart attacks or poor circulation in general. It is a natural alternative to aspirin. (Infusion of a teaspoon of bark per cup of water. Drink a glass every two days) (Contraindications in the general study of the plant)
- Garlic (Allium sativum): The presence of sulfurous compounds, together with alliin, and ajoene, makes it very important to give this plant antithrombotic properties (not clots in the blood) which is well suited to thin blood circulation (Half a gram of dye per day) (Raw in salad) (Maceration of 100 grams of garlic 400 grams of alcohol in wine.
