Overview
Natural blood thinners are substances that stop blood from clotting. Certain supplements and spices, like Gingko and ginger, may also function as blood thinners. Blood thinners prevent clotting through two ways; as an anticoagulant and as an antiplatelet. When they function as an antiplatelet, they stop blood cells from bonding together to form a clot. When they work as anticoagulants, they slow down the process of clotting.
