How to Make an Herbal Remedy for Blood Clots

A blot clot, or thrombosis, slows the flow of blood after an injury. When a blood clot develops inside of a blood vessel, it can block the supply of oxygen to surrounding tissues and could lead to a heart attack or stroke. While existing blood clots should be treated by a physician, you can help to prevent or reduce the occurrence of blood clots with herbal remedies, especially after surgery or an injury.
