Natural Blood Thinner To Prevent Mini Strokes

A stroke is a condition in which the brain begins to cease its functioning rapidly. This loss of functioning is often caused by the lack of blood supply to the brain. If for any reason, the brain is unable to receive a regular supply of blood, it can cause a stroke. This lack of blood can be due to various factors like thrombosis, a condition in which a blood clot forms inside the blood vessel, or embolism, when an object in the blood is removed from one part of the body and is deposited in another part because of the circulation of blood. A hemorrhage in the brain can also cause a disruption in the flow of blood to the brain.

The lack of blood causes a disruption in the regular functioning of the brain and could lead to paralysis or other physical and mental disabilities. To keep the blood flowing to the brain, sometimes the blood density has to be lessened. This can prevent the formation of clots and hemorrhages that disrupt the flow of blood. While there are several medicines that can thin our blood like aspirin, these may have severe and long lasting side effects. Fortunately, there are also naturally available substances that thin our blood without causing any harmful side effects. These natural substances decrease the inflammation in the blood and cause it to flow more freely.
