Ginger

Ginger is an anti-inflammatory spice that helps prevent blood clotting. Various studies show that it treats inflammation by reducing thromboxane, a hormone that facilitates platelet aggregation. Salicylates, a substance that confers the blood-thinning attributes of aspirin, is also a main ingredient of ginger. More studies need to be done to understand how ginger functions as a blood thinner. You can add ginger fresh or dried in sweet foods and baked goods. You can chop, bruise, and steep it in water to make ginger tea. You can also add it to juices and smoothies. Contact your doctor to get the capsule form.
