Blood thinning - indications and rules for the use of drugs and folk remedies for blood thinning

Blood is the main life environment, on the condition of which depends the health and the level of functioning of absolutely all systems and organs.This living environment is 90% water, with the remaining 10% attributable to uniform elements.If there is an insufficient supply of fluid into the blood or its digestibility is impaired, then the viscosity level increases - a person's health is compromised.

Medicine is also known for the causes of increased blood viscosity, and the first signs of this dangerous condition, and methods of dilution of blood.But this information should be owned by everyone, because timely action will help to eliminate severe, complex pathologies leading to death.

Causes of blood viscosity increase

Primarily blood thickeningIs associated with inadequate use of water or its complete digestibility.If in the first case it is sufficient to adhere only to the generally accepted norms of daily water consumption( 30 g per 1 kg of body weight) for a healthy person, poor digestibility is most often associated with an incorrect choice of water itself.Many prefer to drink carbonated drinks, tap water( and it is always chlorinated in the water pipe) - this leads to the expenditure of an increased amount of energy by the body.

But except for errors in drinking water, the reasons for the thickening of the blood are :

• increased "working capacity" of the spleen - with a high production of enzymes is a destructive effect on organs and systems;
• acidification and an excess of slag in the body;
• dehydration of the body - this can occur after a long stay in the sun, with prolonged diarrhea, in case of excessive physical exertion;
• consumes a lot of sugar and products that include simple carbohydrates;
• a small amount of used vitamins and minerals - their lack automatically leads to violations of the work of organs;
• regular eating disorder;
• radiation exposure to the body - it can both short-term and regular;
• food is not enriched with salts.

In addition, the level of blood viscosity affects the region of residence of a person and his place of work - it is for certain known that an unfavorable ecology and harmful production directly affect the state of the main body environment.

First signs of blood thickening

Of course, the level of blood viscosity can only be established in the laboratory - you will need to pass the tests and wait for the results.But a person can suspect himself in this state and by some signs. These include :

• fast fatigue;
• irritability;
• increased daytime drowsiness;
• memory degradation.

These symptoms are usually written off as banal fatigue, it is considered that it is enough to go on vacation and the activity will recover by itself.Perhaps, it will be so, but to pass a preventive examination and get the expert's conclusion will not be superfluous.First, the above signs may indicate the development of pathologies of the central nervous system, and secondly, as part of the survey, you can learn about the level of viscosity of the blood.

Important: the listed symptoms should in no case become a signal for the use of common blood thinning methods!Such measures should be coordinated with the doctor, be conducted under the regular supervision of medical workers - it is a question of periodic testing of the state of viscosity in the laboratory.

Than the thickening of the blood is dangerous

Many people do not even think that a banal violation of drinking water can lead to any serious consequences.Yes, it can provoke an increase in the level of blood viscosity, but how dangerous is it for a person? Doctors distinguish several serious pathologies that are directly related to the density of the main life environment of the body :

• varicose veins;
• steady increase in blood pressure - hypertension;
• thrombosis or thrombophlebitis;
• atherosclerosis;
• hemorrhagic / ischemic stroke;
• myocardial infarction.

Each of these diseases can lead not only to disability, but also to death.

How to liquefy the blood

Doctors offer procedures for blood thinning in several ways.In many cases, a combination of several is proposed. The most effective methods for dilution of blood include :

• correction of the diet - it is necessary to include products that have a thinning effect in the menu;
• taking medications;
• blood thinning by folk remedies;
• procedures with medical leeches - hirudotherapy.

Important: is by no means independent of any measures to dilute blood!Even if you decided to do this for prophylaxis( and this is only appropriate at the age of more than 50 years), it is extremely necessary to get approval and permission from a doctor.Remember that rushing to extremes is fraught with serious consequences - too liquid blood contributes to regular bleeding and even a small wound can lead to death from hemorrhage.

Drugs for the dilution of blood

The drugs listed in this section are not able to "dissolve" the already formed thrombi, but to prevent their appearance and improve the blood composition are quite capable.Each of the funds for a particular patient is selected by the physician in a strictly individual order, so the decision to take medication will be an error.And it's good, if not fatal!

Important: has contraindications, consultation with a doctor is necessary. It is possible to single out how we distinguish "recommend reading. .."

Heparin

The most popular drug that can dilute blood.It contains the same substance that is contained in the saliva of leeches - it dilutes the blood at the time of getting a secret from the leech into the human body.Heparin is prescribed only by a doctor, he also chooses an individual dosage.

Warfarin

This is the second most popular drug, which, if properly used, dilutes blood.The drug is inexpensive, but this is no less effective.

Curantil

The drug is manufactured in Germany, used as a prophylaxis for the formation of thrombi in diagnosed atherosclerosis, varicose veins.

Dabigatran

This is a substitute for warfarin, refers to thrombin inhibitors, is able to bring the level of anticoagulation to an adequate state.

Aspecard

An agent that controls the amount of platelets formed in the blood, with an increased index, actively reduces it.

Preparations with selenium, zinc and lexin

They are intended only for replenishment of these elements in the blood( if there is an insufficiency).This improves the digestibility of water, which eventually leads to a normal level of blood viscosity.

Escuzan

The drug that actively affects the health of blood vessels - makes their walls more elastic, normalizes the process of blood circulation in the veins, resists the outflow of moisture from the vessels.

Multivitamins

Beneficial effect on the structure of blood vessels, reduce the risk of blood clots.

All these medicines must be prescribed only by a doctor.Moreover, one must know the general state of health, take into account previously diagnosed acute and chronic pathologies.In some cases, experts recommend taking phenilin - it acts very quickly and in emergency cases can even save a patient's life.But!Phenylline has a mass of contraindications, it can cause powerful side effects, which is why it is used extremely rarely, only under the supervision of medical workers and with the consent / permission of the treating doctor.

The most famous medicines are Aspirin( acetylsalicylic acid) and Cadio Magnesium - about their wonderful effect on the work of the heart and the state of vessels broadcast even from TV screens.And what about these drugs doctors say?

Aspirin or acetylsalicylic acid

It is officially established( back in the middle of the 20th century) that the presented drug reduces the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in people over 50 years old, it is especially effective for male patients.

The effect of Aspirin in the dilution of blood lies in its ability to "slow down" the process of gluing together platelets - this is what causes blood clots in large and small vessels.

Cardiologists recommend taking Aspirin daily, especially for people with previously diagnosed disorders of cerebral circulation, angina and atherosclerosis.It is very useful to use acetylsalicylic acid during the recovery from a heart attack or stroke.

The standard dosage of Aspirin is 75-150 mg per day.To increase the dose is strictly not recommended without the appointment of a doctor - it will not be possible to speed up the process of dilution of blood, but it is quite realistic to provoke the development of serious complications.

Please note: , despite its high effectiveness in preventing blood viscosity increase, is strictly prohibited for people with diagnosed gastric diseases - acute / chronic gastritis, ulcers.This is due to its dramatically negative effect on the gastric mucosa.Do not take Aspirin and patients with bronchial asthma.

Despite the fact that the pharmaceutical industry offers to use Aspirin in the form of more sparing drugs( additional components in them simply reduce the level of negative effects on the gastric mucosa), during the reception of these drugs it is necessary to periodically take blood tests - in the laboratory should monitor the level of thrombocytes.If it is underestimated, the course of taking aspirin-containing drugs should be discontinued.

Cardiomagnet

Often advertised product with blood thinning properties.The composition contains acetylsalicylic acid and magnesium hydroxide.If acetylsalicylic acid directly affects the level of blood viscosity, the second component simply reduces the activity of the main active substance on the gastric mucosa.At the same time, they perfectly coexist in one preparation and do not reduce the effectiveness of each other.

The cardiomagnet should be appointed by a physician - no preventive courses of admission without notification of this specialist can not be carried out! In general, the drug in question is prescribed only for certain diseases of :

• regularly high blood pressure;
• thrombosis;
• diabetes mellitus;
• atherosclerosis;
• chronic migraine;
• embolism;
• angina;
• rehabilitation period after surgery performed under general anesthesia;
• elevated cholesterol level in the blood;
• is a hereditary predisposition to diseases of the cardiovascular system.

Note: in the manual indicates a number of contraindications to the use of Cardiomagnola even for preventive purposes.Therefore, only consultation with a doctor and getting permission from him for taking the drug may cause the beginning of the course of prevention of blood viscosity increase .

Folk blood thinners

There are several non-traditional methods of dilution of blood.At first glance, they all consist in the use of habitual products / plants that can not be harmful to health.But doctors do not recommend starting a course of therapy without prior consultation with specialists.The fact that one person fits optimally, for another can be a real poison!

Juices

Freshly prepared juices from natural fruits and vegetables, without preservatives and flavor substitutes are recommended to be consumed every day.They contribute to the dilution of blood due to the high content of vitamins and minerals.This, in the final result, leads to a normalization of the water digestibility and the composition of the important vital environment of the organism.Yes, and water, which is in sufficient quantities even in the most concentrated juice, enters the body within a daily dose.

The most useful in terms of liquefaction of blood juices are strawberry, cranberry, pomegranate, orange, lemon, carrot, apple, grape and other species.You can use them in a "pure" form, you can prepare cocktails( for example, apple-carrot).Drink one glass( 250 ml) of fresh juice a day is a necessary minimum, which can be increased if desired.

Remember: many juices can not be consumed by people with liver and kidney disease, cardiovascular system and digestive system.Therefore, a doctor's consultation is absolutely essential.It is strictly forbidden to take grapefruit juice as a diluting agent, if any medications are taken in parallel - this can lead to poisoning of the body.

Soda food

Traditional healers recommend taking a soda solution every morning on an empty stomach.Preparation is as follows: 1/5 teaspoon baking soda mixed with a glass of warm water.

It seems such an easy way!But be extremely careful - soda has a harmful effect on the mucous membrane of the stomach and esophagus, which can provoke the development of peptic ulcer.

Apple vinegar

It is believed that taking this product correctly, without rushing to extremes, to harm the body is problematic enough.Therefore, apple cider vinegar for blood thinning can be designated as a safe method of solving the problem.

The mechanism of action of apple cider vinegar is simple: a weakly acidic reaction occurs, which leads to elimination of toxic acidic compounds.They are replaced with apple cider vinegar, which eliminates metabolic acidosis in the blood.Of course, such an action will be provided only in case of regular use of the presented product according to a certain scheme.

The most important rule - apple cider vinegar should be taken only in the morning hours, since it is during this period of the day that the body completely relieves acidic toxic products.To drink apple cider vinegar in its pure form, naturally, it is forbidden - it is necessary to prepare a solution from a glass( 250 ml) of warm water and 2 table spoons of the presented product.The duration of intake of this solution of apple cider vinegar is 2-3 months.In general, healers assure that you can take this medicine for a year, but only have to do 10-day breaks every 2 months.

Note: Blood thinning with apple cider vinegar is strictly contraindicated in people with diagnosed duodenitis and peptic ulcer of the stomach / duodenum.

Flaxseed oil

An excellent product that not only dilutes blood, but also has a beneficial effect on the digestive system, the condition of the walls of the vessels and the work of the heart.The presented product can regulate lipid metabolism - the blood is saturated with lipids, which automatically maintains it in the liquid state and prevents the formation of thrombi even with existing atherosclerotic plaques.

It is necessary to take flaxseed oil correctly as follows: a tablespoon of the product in the morning on an empty stomach.If this procedure is impossible for some reason, you can drink the same amount of linseed oil immediately after the morning meal.Only daily intake is required, in which case the effect will be optimal.The duration of flaxseed oil for blood thinning can be different - at the discretion of the patient, but you need to do 5-7-day intervals after each month of use.

Please note: is strictly prohibited for people with diagnosed cholelithiasis and with a penchant for diarrhea.

Medicinal herbs

Of course, nature provides people with the means not only to treat pathologies, but also to prevent many diseases.And for the dilution of blood there are certain recipes from medicinal herbs, which have an effect not worse than medicines.

White willow bark.This natural product contains salicin - the so-called precursor of salicylic acid.It is not surprising that the bark of a white willow is able to have an anticoagulant effect.But the difference between salicin in natural materials and its chemical analogue is that even regular use does not provoke the development of bleeding and pathological changes in the mucosa of the stomach and duodenum.

Note: this property often pushes people to apply a white willow bark for liquefaction of blood without control by medical workers.This tool is even given to children!Do not forget that even the most wonderful, tested a thousand times a medicine can have a negative impact on the body - expert advice is extremely necessary.

Tablets are produced, the main active substance of which is the bark of a white willow - in this case, the daily dose is 1 tablet 2-3 times( recommendation for adults only!).If there is a natural / natural bark of a white willow, then it should be dried, and then brewed and drunk like regular tea, it is possible with the addition of honey.

Donnik.Only the leaves and flowers of this medicinal plant have medicinal properties.But they can have a powerful toxic effect, especially in the case of improper collection and harvesting of raw materials.Therefore, you need not only to get permission for a course of therapy aimed at dilution of blood from the treating doctor, but also to purchase a ready dry clover in the pharmacy.

Note: the blood thinning effect in the sweet clover is so strong that, with simultaneous admission with certain medicines and funds from the category "traditional medicine", they can go monthly even with prolonged absence( amenorrhea).

The optimal preparation option - 1 teaspoon of dry raw material is brewed in a glass( 300 ml) of boiling water and insisted for 2 hours.Take infusion should be 2 times a day for ½ cup at the reception.

Please note: is strictly prohibited to use blood clots for blood thinning when diagnosing hemorrhoids, prone to nasal / uterine bleeding and any diseases that can cause bleeding.

Products that affect the blood viscosity

It should be noted immediately that the decision to introduce a product into the diet can be taken independently.It is important not to go to extremes and not replace them with a full-fledged food - food should be varied.

Products that promote blood thinning :

• chestnut;
• garlic;
• lemon;
• figs;
• beet;
• orange;
• grenade;
• ginger;
• sunflower seeds;
• olive oil;
• artichoke.

But it is not enough to know and use only those products that serve as prevention of blood viscosity increase!It is necessary to remember clearly what can contribute to its increase - it is useless to lean on both groups of products, there will be no effect, but the state of health can worsen. So, that raises the level of blood viscosity :

• sugar is first!Therefore, it is worth not to use it or limit the amount as much as possible;
• carbonated beverages;
• protein food - do not completely abandon it, but to revise the amount of consumption of meat, beans need to decrease;
• potatoes;
• bananas;
• smoked products;
• nettle;
• buckwheat.

Blood thinning is an important aspect in the life of every person.And if the age has crossed the border in 50 years, there is an atherosclerosis, stenocardia and other diseases of the cardiovascular system, then urgent measures must be taken.Do not trust the media, which widely advertise known medicines or biologically active supplements as blood thinners - it is better to trust doctors, undergo a full examination and get correct, adequate appointments.
