The Best Natural Blood Thinners that Protect Against Strokes and Blood Clots

Most people in America take prescription medications  to thin their blood. Unfortunately, all these prescription blood thinners can cause many dangerous side effects. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services warns consumers of these side effects from blood thinners:

• Menstrual bleeding that is much heavier than normal.
• Red or brown urine.
• Bowel movements that are red or look like tar.
• Bleeding from the gums or nose that does not stop quickly.
• Vomit that is brown or bright red.
• Anything red in color that you cough up.
• Severe pain, such as a headache or stomachache.
• Unusual bruising.
• A cut that does not stop bleeding.
• A serious fall or bump on the head.
• Dizziness or weakness

The good news is that there are many natural substances that possess powerful anti-inflammatory properties that can help to thin the blood.
