Blood clots, also known as thrombi, are formed inside major blood vessels, and are the major cause of many heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular disorders. Symptoms of blood clots are usually not apparent, which is why diagnostic screening on a regular (yearly) basis is recommended. Blood solidification, or clotting, usually occurs as a healthy response within minutes after the skin is cut or there is trauma that causes bleeding. A blood clot helps seal the damage. However, blood clotting can be dangerous when it occurs inside healthy blood vessels. Unhealthy clotting can occur from platelets that get "activated" to clump together. This occurs when platelets come in contact with damaged arterial walls, or due to nutrient deficiencies, poor dietary habits, or genetic predisposition. Once platelets get sticky, their shape changes and they easily mesh or clump together, causing a blood clot. Pharmaceutical drugs such as anticoagulants are commonly prescribed to treat or prevent blood clots. The problem is that these drugs have myriad unpleasant side effects such as fever, chills gastrointestinal problems and jaundice, they are causing the body to be overloaded with chemicals that the body has to process. There are natural cures for blood clots that do not involve the use of pharmaceutical drugs. They involve restoring the biochemical balance of the body, and making dietary and lifestyle changes designed to improve one's general health.
